Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructures have received much attention due to their new physical and chemical properties originating from their low dimensionality. Due to their exotic properties, the nanostructures have been widely utilized for various applications such as energy conversions, electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. In order to increase their potential uses in these applications, it is highly desirable to develop new synthetic methods and growth mechanisms for producing nanostructures with desired properties suitable for the applications. To prepare various functional nanostructures, a variety of synthetic methods have been successfully established, including chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, hydrothermal methods, solvothermal methods, electrochemical methods, photo-induced methods, etc. In addition, significant research efforts have been devoted to developing new mechanisms for controlling the structural, chemical, and physical properties of the nanostructures.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will attempt to cover the most recent advances in new synthetic strategies and growth mechanisms for preparing novel functional nanostructures, including novel nanoparticles, nanowires, two-dimensional materials, nanoscale heterostructures, nanohybrid materials, nanocomposites, etc.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Controlled synthesis and characterization of novel nanostructures
- Controlled vapor-phase synthesis of functional nanostructures
- Controlled solution-phase synthesis of functional nanostructures
- New growth mechanisms and synthetic strategies for novel nanostructures

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.
