Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is focused on cutting-research relating to the synthesis, properties and applications of metal oxide nanomaterials. Nanomaterials based on metal oxides represent an important class of materials with many applications such as catalysts in pollutant photodegradation, active compounds in solar cells, highly sensitive chemical and biological sensors, vectors for controlled drug delivery, etc. Integrating these nanomaterials in hybrid systems or smart devices is of great importance in fields such as nanomedicine, green technologies, and optical communications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: synthesis procedures, metal doping, optical and electric properties, photocatalysis, band-gap engineering, defect characterization and engineering, nanomaterials for sensors and biosensors, and antibacterial nanomaterial platform.
Dr. Anton Airinei

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
