Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building upon the success of the first edition, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Inorganics, entitled ‘Recent Research and Application of Amorphous Materials, 2nd Edition’. Amorphous materials have a unique structural feature compared to traditional crystalline materials as they lack long-range order. This unique structure endows amorphous materials with numerous special physical, chemical, and biological properties, including higher strength and hardness, superior corrosion resistance, unique electromagnetic properties, and excellent biocompatibility. Due to these excellent properties, amorphous materials have demonstrated wide application potential in various fields, including, but not limited to, energy storage and conversion, biomedicine, environmental protection, and information technology.
With the advancement of science and technology, particularly the rapid development of materials science, computational physics, and nanotechnology, research on amorphous materials is in an unprecedentedly active period. Novel synthesis methods, advanced characterization techniques, and innovative applications are continually emerging, offering new approaches to address challenges that cannot be resolved with traditional materials. Hence, an in-depth exploration of new theories, technologies, and applications of amorphous materials is of great significance for promoting the development of materials science and achieving technological breakthroughs.
This Special Issue aims to bring together state-of-the-art research, explore future development trends of amorphous materials, and jointly promote the application and development of inorganic materials in the fields of biology, environment, and energy.
We encourage cooperation and research in interdisciplinary fields and particularly welcome experts and scholars in the fields of materials science, physics, chemistry, environmental engineering, and biomedicine to submit their original research or review articles. In addition, submissions covering theoretical analysis, experimental research, design methods, and simulations etc., are also welcome. Research areas include but are not limited to the following:
- Material synthesis and preparation;
- Advanced characterization techniques;
- Computational materials science;
- Material structure and properties;
- Optoelectronic devices;
- Information storage;
- Energy storage materials;
- Environmental governance;
- Finite element analysis;
- Machine learning.
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 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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
