Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductors and nanomaterials are key materials in technological progress in the 21st century. Semiconductors play a vital part in the development of technologies spanning (but not limited to) generation, storage, conversion, distribution, and policy. They are also essential materials for the rising digital age—in fact, in a way, their driving force. Nanostructured materials provide solutions to problems that cannot be dealt with using conventional technologies.
In this context, obtaining advanced nanostructured multifunctional semiconducting materials exhibiting several coexisting properties is one of the most exciting and innovative research topics of our times. This Special Issue of Nanomaterials, “Multifunctional Applications of Semiconductor-Based Nanomaterials”, is devoted to research works dealing with nanostructured semiconductor materials having multifunctional applications. A special view will be given to light-activated semiconductor nanomaterials for electronic, sensing, (photo-) and electrocatalytic applications. Those materials are indeed envisioned to be key elements for electronic systems, computing, serving communications, sensors, environmental remediation, green and clean energy generation, and preservation of cultural heritage.
It is thus our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with your research article, communication or review.
Dr. David Maria Tobaldi

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 2900 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.
