Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovations in sustainable energy technologies and environmental applications significantly depend on our ability to assemble and recognize nanomaterials of metal oxides, especially semiconductors with optimal properties. Therefore, the theoretical and experimental studies of such metal oxides, their heterojunction and nanocomposites for energy harvesting and environmental applications. So, fabrication (including low-cost methods and techniques) and characterization (including the electrical, optical, structural, and morphological properties) of such metal oxide nanomaterials is our aim to use multifunction in various energy, optoelectronics and environmental application like supercapacitors, solar cells, LEDs devices, wastewater treatment, antimicrobial, cancer imaging, drug delivery, and biosensors applications.
The main contribution of the present Special Issue is “Metal Oxides: Synthesis, Characterization, Theoretical Investigations and Applications”. We believe that this issue is theoretically and practically needed at present to discover outstanding future devices.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
