Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin film deposition technique allowing for sub-nanometer thickness control, as well as excellent uniformity and conformality on demanding substrates. Although ALD is typically used for the synthesis of oxides nanomaterials, it has been shown that nitrides and metals can also be prepared using this technique.
This Special Issue will aim at gathering resources in the area of the design of nanostructured materials using ALD for different applications such as health, environment and renewable energy. Contributions related to advanced materials design, novel materials properties and original characterization techniques will be as well considered.
This Special Issue will deal with: (i) the design of nanostructured materials with controlled morphology, geometry and crystallinity, (ii) the tuning of interfaces for the obtained materials, (iii) the study of the dependence of the physical-chemical properties on the geometric parameter, and (iv) the investigation of new 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. 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.
