Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials continue to revolutionize next-generation optoelectronic and catalytic technologies by enabling precise control of structure, symmetry, and functionality at the atomic and nanoscale levels. Historically, breakthroughs in nanomaterials ranging from plasmonic metals and chiral nanostructures to perovskite semiconductors have expanded our understanding of light-matter interactions, spin–photon coupling, and catalytic behavior. These advances have paved the way for transformative applications in energy harvesting, sensing, photodetection, and information technologies.
This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest developments at the interface of nanomaterials design, chiroptical engineering, magneto-optics, and plasmon-enhanced functionalities. We seek to highlight fundamental studies and application-driven research that push the boundaries of optoelectronic performance, catalytic efficiency, and light-spin manipulation.
This Special Issue welcomes cutting-edge research in areas including, but not limited to, the following:
- Chiroptical nanostructures and chiral light-matter interactions;
- Perovskite-based materials and 2D nanoplatelets for optoelectronics, photodetectors, and catalysis;
- Magneto-optical nanomaterials and spin–photon coupling;
- Plasmonic enhancement of optical, catalytic, and sensing performance;
- Hybrid nanostructures combining plasmonics, chiroptics, nanoclusters, and perovskites;
- In situ/operando optical and magneto-optical characterization;
- Theory and simulations guiding light–matter interaction in nanostructures;
- Nanomaterial-enabled photodetection, energy conversion, and environmental applications.
We invite original research articles, reviews, communications, and perspectives exploring innovative nanomaterials, emerging mechanisms, and technologically relevant applications. Submissions that integrate multiple functionalities—such as combined plasmonic–chiroptical effects or magneto-optical tuning in perovskites—are particularly encouraged.
Sincerely,
Dr. Avisek Dutta

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
