Synthesis, Characterization, Applications and Computational Studies of Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in the green chemical industry and sustainable energy production depend on the development of novel nanomaterials that can be used as adsorbents, catalysts, sensors, and electrodes. In this Special Issue, many fundamental aspects are discussed, such as pore size, surface area, and ligand functionalization of nanomaterials for adsorption, catalysis, and sensing. Promising energy storage systems are also included, which usually work on the principle of adsorption.

Furthermore, the study of nanomaterials using computational approaches, such as ab initio, DFT, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, and machine learning methods, is a rapidly developing field that provides a solid foundation for understanding the structure and functional applications of nanomaterials. This Special Issue, therefore, brings together synthesis, characterization, applied and computational studies of nanomaterials, including experimental and computational results on nanomaterials and original research contributions in the fields of environmental remediation, chemical industry, sensors, biosensors, nano-drug delivery systems (NDDSs), electrochemical energy storage and conversion, etc.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
