Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocrystals and nanomaterials are considered ideal building blocks or nano-tools for the fabrication of more complex functional materials and functional devices. Their potential applications span from fine chemical manufacturing to greenhouse gas mitigation. Thus, they have been continually developed. Even though tremendous progress has been made in nanomaterial synthetic approaches able to operate a rigorous control of size, shape, and composition in solution-processable nanocrystals, together with post-synthetic surface science, they are still limited in technology and daily life applicability in more relevant industrial conditions. In this view, colloidal nanocrystals are presented as powerful building blocks for functional materials in the view of fundamental understanding. Various assembly, processing, and deposition techniques of nanocrystals can be arranged for operative architectures in scales of several orders of length. Moreover, by combining different nanocrystals, properties can be fine-tuned or selected for application, opening up fascinating opportunities to create specific functionalities.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute original research articles or comprehensive reviews to this Special Issue.
This Special Issue aims to link insights on nanomaterials production, their surface science, and realistic operative conditions in electronic functional devices.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
