Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The plasma-based synthesis of nanomaterials has become a critical technique in modern materials science, providing unique advantages such as precise control over particle size, morphology, and chemical composition. Since its early use in thin film deposition and surface treatment, plasma technology has evolved to enable the scalable production of high-quality nanomaterials. These developments are particularly important for applications in energy storage, catalysis, electronics, and biotechnology, where the unique properties of nanomaterials can drive significant innovation.
This Special Issue will highlight the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the synthesis of nanomaterials using plasma-based techniques. Its scope includes experimental research, theoretical studies, and reviews on topics that involve gas-phase and liquid-phase syntheses. We are particularly interested in contributions that focus on novel processes, process optimization, mechanism understanding, and new applications enabled by plasma-fabricated nanomaterials.
This Special Issue will attract high-quality original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and cutting-edge communications. We welcome contributions that explore the plasma-assisted synthesis of a wide range of nanomaterials, including, but not limited to, nanoparticles, nanowires, nanosheets, and nanotubes. Papers discussing interdisciplinary approaches, such as combining plasma techniques with other nanofabrication methods, are highly encouraged. Submissions that provide insights into the scaling-up of plasma processes for industrial applications or discuss emerging applications in areas such as sustainable energy, biomedical devices, and environmental remediation will be given special consideration.

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.
