Nanoarchitectonics with Molecular and Materials Science: Functional Materials for Energy, Environment, Bio and Others

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce a call for submissions to a Topic of “Nanoarchitectonics with Molecular and Materials Science: Functional Materials for Energy, Environment, Bio and Others”. As a post-nanotechnology concept, nanoarchitectonics has been proposed to create functional materials using atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials as components (Molecules 2021, 26(6), 1621). The nanoarchitectonics concept couples nanotechnology with various research fields, including materials science, supramolecular chemistry, and bio-related sciences, to logically create functional materials from nanoscale units. Because the nanoarchitectonics concept has conceptual generality, it can be applied to a wide range of research fields, including material synthesis, structural fabrications, sensing, catalysts, environmental remediation, energy production and storages, device fabrications, and biological/biomedical treatments. By including this emerging terminology, nanoarchitectonics, in paper titles and/or keywords, re-consideration of these subjects would promote discovery of novel insights within interdisciplinary research fields.
