Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exploration of metal oxides in their diverse forms has become increasingly vital in the development of advanced electronic and energy storage applications. Metal oxides, such as zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and nickel oxide (NiO), have demonstrated significant potential due to their unique electrical, optical, and catalytic properties. Their applications range from thin-film transistors and solar cells to supercapacitors and batteries. For instance, ZnO nanoparticles have been widely used in optoelectronic devices due to their high electron mobility and wide bandgap, while TiO2 nanostructures are extensively utilized in photocatalysis and solar energy conversion.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present the current state of the art in the research and application of metal oxides, focusing on their various forms, including nanoparticles, nanostructures, nanocomposites, and thin films. We seek to highlight cutting-edge research that explores the synthesis, characterization, and innovative applications of these materials in electronic devices and energy storage systems.
We invite contributions that address topics such as the enhancement of electronic properties through morphological control, the development of nanocomposites for improved energy storage performance, and the use of thin films in next-generation electronic applications. By gathering insights from leading researchers in the field, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the advancements and challenges associated with metal oxides in various states.

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.
