Nanoparticles: From Synthesis to Applications 2.0

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Nanoparticles: From Synthesis to Applications” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms/special_issues/nanoparticles_NaNaX9).

Colloidal nanoparticles have emerged as a promising class of materials that could be used for a wide range of applications. In recent years, particular focus has been given to the development of improved synthesis methods, which allow for the precise control of materials’ sizes and shapes. Furthermore, the possibility of fabricating nanoparticle cores with different elemental compositions has led to the discovery of new material properties, which increase their potential contributions to a variety of research fields, including energy, sensors, imaging, photonics, medicine, etc.  

This Special Issue will highlight the latest research on nanoparticles. Thus, we invite research articles, reviews, or/and perspectives addressing and presenting nanoparticle-related subjects. Potential work will include, but is not limited to, the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles; proof-of-concept and applicability studies; sensing, diagnosis, drug delivery, and toxicity investigations; and views as well as future trends. Altogether, this Special Issue will report on different areas of nanoparticle research, covering the entire range, from energy to diagnostic as well as bio-applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
