We are pleased to announce this open call for papers for our upcoming themed collection on Advanced Functional Inorganic Materials for Information Technology and Applications to be published in Journal of Materials Chemistry C and Materials Advances.

This collection is guest edited by Dr Xuebin Wang (Nanjing University), Dr Haibo Zeng (Nanjing University of Science and Technology) and Dr Zhiguo Xia (South China University of Technology). For further information about the guest editors, please read below. For further information about the themed collection, please see this blog post.

Dr Xuebin Wang (Nanjing University)

Xuebin Wang received BS and MS degrees from Nanjing University and PhD degree from Waseda University. He worked as junior researcher, postdoc researcher, and independent researcher at International Center for Young Scientists (ICYS), World Premier International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA), National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in 2010–2016. He has been a full professor in Nanjing University since 2016. Wang’s group has been pursuing the designed syntheses, novel properties, and practical applications of porous 2D materials, and he recently focuses on the growth of 3D-designed graphene and boron nitride for applications to electrolysis, thermocatalysis, supercapacitors, batteries, polymeric composites, and so forth.

Dr Haibo Zeng (Nanjing University of Science and Technology)

Haibo Zeng received his Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2006. He later worked with Prof. Claus Klingshirn in 2007 at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2008, he joined Prof. Yoshio Bando’s group at the National Institute for Materials Science, Japan. Since 2013, he has been working as a distinguished professor and Director of the Institute of Optoelectronics and Nanomaterials in Nanjing University of Science and Technology. His research interests are focused on the exploratory design of semiconducting nanocrystals and 2D crystals, with an emphasis on optoelectronics applications.

Dr Zhiguo Xia (South China University of Technology)

Zhiguo Xia is a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China. He obtained his PhD degree (Chemistry) in 2008 from Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. His current research interests focus on the inorganic luminescence materials, including the rare earth doped phosphors and the luminescent metal halides, and mainly developed their structural design, synthesis and discovery and structure-property correlation investigations. Dr. Zhiguo Xia has published over 200 peer reviewed publications (h-index of 87), and 5 book chapters. He is an associated editor of “Journal of Materials Chemistry C from 2022”.

We are pleased to announce this open call for papers for our upcoming themed collection on Advanced Functional Inorganic Materials for Information Technology and Applications to be published in Journal of Materials Chemistry C and Materials Advances.

This collection is guest edited by Dr Xuebin Wang (Nanjing University), Dr Haibo Zeng (Nanjing University of Science and Technology) and Dr Zhiguo Xia (South China University of Technology).

Submissions to the journal should should fit within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry C or Materials Advances. Please see the journal websites for more information on the journals’ scopes, standards, article types and author guidelines.

For this open call, we welcome full Papers and Communications.

Open for Submissions until 30 June 2024

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, please submit your article directly through the Journal of Materials Chemistry C or Materials Advances online submission page. Please mention that your submission is a contribution to the Advanced Functional Inorganic Materials for Information Technology and Applications collection in the “Themed issues” section of the submission form and add a “Note to the Editor” that this is from the Open Call. Please do not mention the themed collection in your cover letter.

All submissions will be subject to assessment against the journal’s usual scope and standards criteria and sent for peer review only if appropriate. Accepted articles will be published online as soon as they are ready and added to the web collection.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to contribute your latest research to this themed collection. We look forward to receiving your manuscripts.
