Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, electromagnetic microwaves (EMWs) are becoming an unignorable concern. EMW radiation brings about many problems of electronic device interference and electromagnetic environmental pollution, which makes the development of EMW absorption and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding a general trend. Developing EMW absorption and EMI shielding materials with thin thickness, light weight, and flexibility is the aim pursued by researchers. The defined size, shape, and morphology of nanomaterials play a significant role in EMW absorption and EMI shielding properties.
Although nanostructured materials deliver abundant absorption and shielding sites, limited impedance matching and conductivity in bulk form significantly hinder their efficiency for absorption and shielding effectiveness in practical implementation. Therefore, the engineering of nanostructured materials with tailored morphologies, phases, dimensions, defects, and interfaces is crucial to enlarge a specific surface area, enrich absorption and shielding sites, improve electronic conductivity, extend EMW absorption and EMI shielding paths, and ultimately enhance their ability to transform electromagnetic energy into heat.
This Special Issue aims to focus on the recent advances in the fine-tuning and structural engineering of nanostructures, and proposes the importance of novel fabrication strategies to realize controlled structures (size, shape, and morphology) and to develop various engineering designs to improve their EMW absorption and EMI shielding performance, while revealing mechanisms for their performance enhancement.

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. Magnetochemistry 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.
