The Cover Feature illustrates the synthesis of luminescent sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) from elemental sulfur for various applications. As a new class of luminescent nanomaterials, SQDs have drawn increasing interest because of their unique composition, favorable optical properties, low toxicity and low cost. Until now, SQDs have shown potential applications in sensing, cell imaging, photocatalysis, light emitting diodes and polymer nanocomposites.
