Synthesis and Applications of Advanced Inorganic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

For thousand years the mankind has been creating and using inorganic materials. Modern materials science is the result of a fruitful symbiosis of chemistry, physics, mechanics, engineering and other sciences. The growing demands in mass production, energy, healthcare and ecology require a significant improvement or modification of the properties of existing inorganic materials, or the development of brand new ones. In this regard, there is a great need for the new generations of inorganic materials having unique functional characteristics that are not inherent in traditional materials. The creation and design of advanced inorganic materials strongly requires an interdisciplinary approach and the use of advanced synthetic techniques to govern chemical composition, structure, and functional properties of the products. The development of new materials is usually a response to a specific practical need, while in some cases, it opens up fundamentally new application possibilities.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the latest achievements in the field of creating novel inorganic materials, including nanomaterials, hybrid and composite materials, as well as to the basic principles of the synthesis of inorganic materials, and to their promising practical 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 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. 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.
