Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal oxide nanomaterials are versatile materials. As semiconductors, they are utilized as active materials for various kinds of chemical and physical sensors for detecting gases, chemical species, light, temperature, and bio-species, while reduced or doped metal oxides are applied to electrical and thermal conductors. On the other hand, as metal oxides show either n- or p-type behavior, depending on their own defect structure or doping elements, they are used as active layers of field effect transistors, and carrier transport layers in various types of optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, some metal oxides, such as iron oxides, have magnetic characteristics, and some metal oxides are utilized for battery electrodes. Depending on the synthesis routes, metal oxide nanomaterials have various kinds of morphologies (i.e., nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanoparticle-nanowire hybrid structures), are hence utilized for diverse applications. Moreover, electrical and chemical properties are subjected to the different synthesis methods.
We kindly invite you to submit a high-quality contribution to this Special Issue of Nanomaterials, “Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and Nanowires: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications’’. Review and original research articles are all welcome.

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.
