Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the ever-evolving landscape of materials science, nanomaterials present a transformative frontier, redefining the way we harness energy and understand the fundamental properties of matter. We are thrilled to launch a groundbreaking Special Issue delving into the captivating world of “Thermal, Electrical and Thermoelectric Properties of Nanomaterials and Their Applications”.
Over the years, nanomaterials have taken centre stage in scientific exploration and technological innovation. Their story is one of remarkable progress and scientific curiosity, dating back to the dawn of the nanoscience era. With roots in the discovery of new materials and advances in microscopy, nanomaterials have grown from an academic curiosity to a focal point in materials science, with a vast array of applications across diverse fields. This Special Issue retraces their significant milestones, charting the trajectory of nanomaterials’ journey from the lab to the market.
Our primary aim with this Special Issue is to offer a comprehensive snapshot of the latest breakthroughs and innovations in the field of nanomaterials, focusing on their thermal, electrical, and thermoelectric properties. We expect contributions encompassing a wide range of topics, from the synthesis of novel nanomaterials to pioneering research on the manipulation of thermal conductivity, the enhancement of electrical conductance, and the optimization of thermoelectric efficiency.
Our vision is to create a comprehensive mosaic of the field, offering a multidimensional view of nanomaterials focused on thermal management and thermoelectric applications. As such, we invite a diverse array of contributions, including original research articles, reviews, and perspective pieces which address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- The synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials with tailored thermal properties;
- Advances in thermal management using nanomaterials;
- Innovations in thermoelectric materials and devices;
- Theoretical models and simulations for predictive nanomaterial design;
- Emerging trends and prospects in the field.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 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.
