Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanowires, as one of the most well-defined and controlled classes of nanostructures, have been a subject of intense research and development for several decades. The unique control over their microstructure has made them a promising building block for various devices and integration strategies. Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in nanowire research, particularly in controlling growth orientation, reducing defect density, optimizing interface structures, achieving structural transformations, and constructing complex heterostructures.
This Special Issue seeks to compile and highlight the most recent and impactful contributions in the study of nanowires, covering both fundamental aspects and applied research. We invite submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel synthesis methods or improvements to existing techniques for nanowire fabrication.
- In-depth studies on the formation mechanisms, structural features, and performance relationships of nanowires.
- Innovative applications of nanowires in diverse fields, such as electronic devices, photonic components, sensors, catalysts, composites, and energy technologies.
- Theoretical simulations and computational studies aimed at predicting nanowire behavior and guiding experimental designs.
- Review articles summarizing state-of-the-art, identifying future trends, and proposing solutions to existing challenges.

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.
