Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials are widely regarded as promising components for high-performance, innovative, and application-specific devices in various fields, including electronics, healthcare, energy, and environmental technologies, due to their enhanced conductivity, strength, reactivity, and optical properties. Their nanoscale dimensions impart unique physical, chemical, and biological characteristics that differ from those of their bulk counterparts. These distinct properties, such as enhanced reactivity, altered electron behavior, and modified surface energies, arise from their high surface area to volume ratio, quantum effects, and the influence of nanostructuring on molecular and atomic-level interactions.
Microscopy and spectroscopy methods are essential tools for nanoscience research and applications, providing detailed and complementary insights into the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.
This Special Issue aims to present a cutting-edge collection of research studies highlighting recent advances in the study of nanomaterials through microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. We invite submissions and welcome original research papers and review articles that show current progress in these fields, explore new methodologies, unveil novel nanostructures, and provide deep insights into (new) materials, with a focus on advancing our understanding through microscopy and spectroscopy.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, Van der Waals layered materials, nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, nanofilms, and quantum dots. The investigation of these materials may involve scanning probe microscopies (such as scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and related techniques), electron microscopies (including scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy), and spectroscopies (such as Raman, infrared, UV-Vis, and X-ray spectroscopies, and second harmonic generation). In this Special Issue, we aim to advance the current understanding of nanomaterials and inspire new ideas for future applications and technologies.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.

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.
