Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This study details the chemical characterization of nanomaterials employing advanced electrochemical techniques, focusing on their potential for precise structural and compositional determination. Electrochemical methodologies, including cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization, were systematically applied to evaluate redox behavior, surface activity, and stability of nanostructured materials under various conditions.
Key findings highlight the effectiveness of these electrochemical approaches in identifying specific surface functional groups, quantifying surface area, assessing electron transfer kinetics, and determining stability and degradation pathways of diverse nanostructures, including metallic nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, and metal-oxide composites. Particularly, EIS emerged as a powerful technique for probing interfacial properties and resistance characteristics at the nano-electrode interface.
Results demonstrate significant correlations between electrochemical properties and the nanomaterials' functional performance, emphasizing the critical role of meticulous electrochemical characterization for optimizing nanomaterial applications in sensors, energy storage devices, catalysis, and biomedical fields. Furthermore, this approach offers a robust, efficient, and non-destructive alternative to conventional analytical techniques, presenting substantial advantages for routine characterization and real-time monitoring of nanomaterials during synthesis and practical applications.

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.
