Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Low dimensional nanomaterials and quantum dots are a class of nanomaterials that possess unique optical, magnetic, and electronic properties due to their small size and large surface area. These materials have significant potential for diverse applications in areas such as drug delivery, biosensing, imaging and energy storage. One of the major challenges in using these materials is the high cost of their synthesis. However, recent advances in low cost synthesis techniques have led to the development of eco-friendly and scalable methods for the production of these materials.

Analysis and characterization of these nanomaterials is also crucial for their successful application. A range of analytical techniques, including TEM, SEM, XPS, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and AFM are utilized for characterization. In addition, theoretical modeling, computational simulation and systems biology approaches have been employed to capture and predict the properties and behavior of these materials. Overall, low dimensional nanomaterials and quantum dots offer great promise for addressing various challenges in medicine, energy and electronics. Cost-effective synthesis, advanced characterization and modeling techniques will further enhance our understanding and enable their successful application in various fields.

The purpose of this special issue is to collect the latest research results in the synthesis, analysis and characterization of low dimensional nanomaterials and quantum dots. We welcome the submission of original research articles and reviews by scholars in related fields.

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.
