Synthesis and Application of Metal/Metal-Oxide Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Metal and metal-oxide nanomaterials are among the most versatile building blocks of nanoscience, offering exceptional optical, electronic, catalytic, and structural properties. Their potential is greatly influenced by synthesis conditions and morphological control, which govern parameters such as crystallinity, defect states, and surface chemistry. These characteristics make them ideal candidates for applications in photocatalysis, energy harvesting, sensing, optoelectronics, and biomedical devices.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will focus on recent progress in the synthesis, structural tuning, and practical applications of metal and metal-oxide nanomaterials. Contributions exploring novel growth techniques, composite systems, and strategies for enhancing performance and stability are particularly encouraged. Both experimental and theoretical studies, as well as reviews highlighting state-of-the-art approaches, fall within the scope of this collection.

We cordially invite submissions that showcase how advances in the preparation and understanding of these nanomaterials can accelerate their integration into sustainable technologies and real-world applications.

Relevant topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Characterization and fabrication;
• Sustainable materials and processes;
• Advances in the integration of metal/metal oxide nanomaterials;
• Applications in electronics, photocatalysis, sensing, energy harvesting, bioengineering, etc.

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.
