Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid the synthesis of composite materials based on organic/macromolecular compounds and inorganic compounds such as various carbonaceous particles (e.g., carbon nanotubes, carbon nano-horns, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, carbon nano-walls, etc.), 2D materials (transitional metal dichalcogenides, phosphorene, etc.), oxides for application in the field of energy storage (supercapacitors, batteries), optical and electrochemical sensors, drug delivery systems, personal medical devices, and membranes for the removal of pollutants. Topics related to the new recycling technology for materials used in end-of-life devices in energy storage, membranes for wastewater treatment, and sensors field are also envisaged.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue, the scope of which includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- The functionalization of inorganic compounds with organic/macromolecular compounds;
- The optical, structural, electrical and electrochemical properties of composite materials;
- Composite materials for application in electrochemical supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries;
- Membranes based on macromolecular compounds modified with inorganic nanoparticles for wastewater treatment;
- 2D materials with applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy for monitoring wastewater pollutants;
- Inorganic–organic hybrid materials for applications in the field of electrochemical and optical sensors;
- Composite materials for drug delivery systems and biomedical applications.
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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
