Fluorescent nanoclusters

We invite submissions for primary research articles to Nanoscale Advances for a themed collection that will spotlight recent advances in the development and application of fluorescent nanoclusters. These materials have generated great interest, with researchers designing fluorescent nanoclusters with tailored properties (i.e. optical properties, stability, biocompatibility, tunability, etc.) and finding applications in a wide range of fields, from clinical diagnostics to environmental monitoring.

The collection welcomes contributions across all areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology focusing on fluorescent nanoclusters. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: 

1. Design, synthesis and properties of novel fluorescent nanoclusters.

3. Post-synthesis modification and functionalisation of nanoclusters. 

2. Their advanced applications in clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, chemical detection, imaging, etc.

Submissions to the journal should contain chemistry in the context of a material and should fit within the scope of Nanoscale Advances. Please see the journal’s webpage for more information on the scope, standards, and author guidelines. If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, you can submit your article directly via the online submission system for Nanoscale Advances. Please mention that this submission is a contribution to the "Fluorescent Nanoclusters" collection in the “Themed issues” section of the submission form and add a “Note to the Editor” that this is from the Open Call.
