Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The large dependence of the physical and chemical properties of materials on their morphology and size has motivated the development of numerous chemical processes. Sol–gel, hydrothermal, coprecipitation, autocombustion, and molten salts are some examples of the many approaches used in the preparation of nanostructured oxides and other inorganic compounds. On the other hand, the epitaxial growth of crystalline nanostructured thin and thick films allows, among others, the adjustment of the bandgap energy and electrical conductivity of materials for high tech applications. Applications of nanostructured and nanoporous materials can be found in many other areas, such as photocatalysis, gas sensors, membranes, antibacterial agents, and contrast particles for medical imaging, to mention a few. Therefore, the processes used in the preparation of these materials play a key a role in their subsequent performance.
This Special Issue of the MDPI Processes journal on the topic of “Advances of Chemical Preparation Methods of Nanomaterials” provides the opportunity to contribute with high-quality works focused on the development of novel processes to obtain nanostructured materials. The topics covered are as follows, but works in related fields are welcome:
- Preparation of nanostructured inorganic particles;
- Synthesis of nanoporous materials;
- Crystal growth of nanostructured films;
- Particle size and shape dependence of physical and chemical properties.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
