Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosynthetic green chemistry studying metal nanoparticles is crucial in the modern life sciences. For the purpose of using bioactivity processes in domains as diverse as medicine, environmental research, and engineering, scientists throughout the world are synthesizing a wide range of bioproducts from a wide variety of plants. In reality, chemicals are widely used in nanoparticle manufacturing, leading to severe contamination and intense stress for nontarget species. Furthermore, metal nanoparticles synthesized in an environmentally friendly manner are urgently needed as possible agents for the replacement of synthetic nanoparticles. However, seasonal influences may cause differences in the green particle of different plants at the local, national, and international levels. The most important aspect of green environment management is the development of bioproducts with green aspects.
Focusing on novel aspects of green synthesis and bioactivity of metal nanoparticles for better products and sustainability of the green environment with new protocols, benefits in health science, life science, environmental science, engineering, and so on, this Special Issue hopes to generate a database for quality research.
Researchers are welcome to contribute to all areas of greener nanoparticles, including but not limited to:
- Green synthesis of nanoparticles and bioproducts;
- Drug discovery and delivery;
- Molecular medicine;
- Pharmaceutical chemistry;
- Biosafety;
- Mechanisms of greener nanoparticles in potential biomedical and biological 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 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.
