Size-Dependent Effects in Materials for Environmental Protection and Energy Application
This special issue belongs to the section "Materials Chemistry".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
The concept of size-dependent material properties becomes dominant in the materials science community. Understanding the size-dependent properties of materials is the most challenging issue in the advanced Materials science. To a great extent this is a result of the technological requirements concerning the development of materials with controlled properties, as well as of the recent progress in materials science, nanotechnology and computational chemistry.
The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the dimensional effects in materials for environmental protection and clean energy production as an innovative approach for the development of innovative materials with improved properties. The Special Issue will comprise (but is not limited to) the following three main classes of advanced inorganic materials that form the basis of modern technologies:
- Materials and thin films for environmental protection;
- Materials for clean energy storage;
- Ceramics/Bioceramics and Glasses for Better Living (with applications in optics, molecular electronics and medicine).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
