Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of surfaces and interfaces is critical for determining the electrochemical reaction of nanomaterials and modifying their properties, for which there are many strategies. The modification and cladding of the surface and interface can be employed to prevent unwanted agglomeration of nanomaterials, exploit their size and interfacial effects, and impart special functions and properties on them. The doping effect is another construction strategy used to optimise the properties of the surface and interface by changing the charge density distribution of the material through the doping of metals and non-metals. In addition, the construction of heterogeneous structures can improve and optimise the material properties through the effective compounding of different components and their synergistic effect. Additionally, surface and interface regulation strategies, such as size effect and geometry electronic structure regulation, morphology and crystal surface regulation, surface interface defect regulation, and interphase interaction regulation, are critical. The study of the surface and interface modulation of nanomaterials aims to develop ways to effectively optimise the properties of nanomaterials and influence the thermodynamic processes and stability of these materials, thus having a decisive impact on the microenvironment of nanomaterial applications. Therefore, this field has become an important research area in nanoscience.
This Special Issue will introduce surface and interface science applications in the field of nanomaterials, with a special focus on, but not limited to, the study of material surfaces and interfaces to optimise energy device performance, prevent corrosion, and protect materials.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
