Nanoparticles Based on Noble Metals: From Synthesis to Application

Dear Colleagues,

Noble metal nanoparticles (AuNPs, AgNPs, PtNPs, etc.) have attracted significant attention for advanced applications in different fields such as nano-drug delivery systems, cancer therapy, biosensors, catalysis, or energy devices. Noble bimetallic and trimetallic nanoparticles have superior performance as compared to their monometallic counterparts, which depends on their composition, size and shape. Metallic nanoparticles combined/coated with functionalized organic or biomolecules, including drugs, polymers, enzymes, etc., give rise to advanced core shell with interesting physical characteristics and potential applications. The controlled synthesis, characterization, and applications of these nanomaterials are a hot area for research.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials focuses on the synthesis, properties and applications of noble metal nanoparticles and aims to collect communications, full papers, or reviews covering a broad range of subjects from nanomaterial synthesis to characterization techniques and their applications.

We are grateful to the authors who will participate in this issue of Nanomaterials, and we hope that all articles herein will contribute to the development of this fascinating area of research, as well as innovation in the field.

Prof. Dr. Emilia Iglesias Martínez

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
