Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development and application of advanced nanomaterials are crucial for addressing technological challenges and promoting sustainable practices. This Special Issue seeks to highlight the latest advancements in the synthesis, characterization, and multiscale modeling of nanomaterials, with a focus on their applications and potential for innovation. It will cover, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
- Synthesis Methods and Characterization Techniques: innovative methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials, such as sol–gel; advanced techniques for characterizing the electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical, and structural properties of nanomaterials, including XRD, EDS, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, AFM, and STM.
- Multiscale Modeling: the application of multiscale computational techniques, such as density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics, to study and design nanomaterials.
- Functionalization and Doping: studies on the functionalization and doping of nanomaterials to enhance their properties and applications.
We invite researchers, scientists, and engineers to contribute their original research and review articles to foster a comprehensive discourse on the synthesis and multiscale modeling of advanced nanomaterials.

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. 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.
