Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been increasing research interest in engineering nanoscale materials due to their potential to meet today’s economic, environmental, and ethical standards. Due to their large active area and high surface energy, nanoscale materials may possess unexpected and/or enhanced chemical and physical properties. Among their fields of application are photocatalysis, medicine, cosmetics, the chemical industry, sensors, and electronics. Several methods have been employed for the production of nanomaterials, which can be classified into two categories: top-down and bottom-up. Bottom-up techniques start from the smallest units, such as atoms or molecules, to produce nanoparticles, and top-down techniques start from the larger unit, the bulk, to produce nanoparticles through size reduction. In addition, bottom-up approaches are more economical and allow for the production of nanomaterials with many morphologies and nanostructures. Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages, but top-down approaches are the most reliable when considering the upscaling of certain nanomaterials.
This Special Issue intends to present research on different nanomaterial production approaches for various applications and the most effective methods for upscaling.
Authors are encouraged to submit papers on the following topics:
- The synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials.
- Nanomaterial synthesis approaches for upscaling.
- Nanomaterial applications—synthesis, characterization, and upscaling.
- Using AI to understanding how to upscale the synthesis process of nanomaterials.

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.
