Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Nanomaterials with a Special Issue in the Section “Energy and Catalysis” (ISSN 2079-4991; CODEN: NANOKO) in 2020.
On behalf of the Editors in Chief, Prof. Dr. Shirley Chiang, and members of the Editorial Office, and ourselves, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our authors and reviewers for their valuable contributions and for ensuring that Nanomaterials is a successful and respected journal in its field. To highlight this anniversary, we will be serving as Editors of a Special Issue that will cover various topics related to Energy and Catalysis.
We will seek papers on the understanding of the formation of metal nanoparticles with a specific focus on the morphology, including unsupported and supported colloidal nanoparticles with alloy and core–shell structures for (i) energy production including catalytic, photocatalytic, and electrochemical processes, (ii) biomass conversion, and (iii) sustainable chemical processes. Emphasis will be given to the (i) the rational design and synthesis of advanced nanomaterials, (ii) the basic and advanced characterization of understanding their structures and active sites, (iii) the understanding of the nanoparticle formation and reaction mechanisms, and (iv) computational methods for the design of nanomaterials and structure–activity correlations.
We intend to keep the scope of this Special Issue broad and adequately reflect the diversity and inclusiveness of the original research covered by Nanomaterials (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomaterials).
On behalf of the Special Issue co-Editor and myself, we warmly invite the Nanomaterials community to submit their original work or an up-to-date review to this Special Issue, which will provide the readership with a comprehensive overview of many the topics covered by our discipline.

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. 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 2900 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
