On 25 May 2023, MDPI and the journal Metals (ISSN: 2075-4701) organized the webinar Nano-Alloys. The webinar focused on the recent advances in the study of the properties and applications of nano-alloy materials, in addition to their opportunities and challenges.

Nano-alloy is a broad term used to describe a nanoparticle made of two or more metallic chemical elements. The research field of nano-alloys is growing along many fronts, ranging from theory and synthesis, analysis, and characterization to applications in catalysis, materials science, optics, electronics, and magnetics. The expected impact of nano-alloys on current and future technology and on society is comparable to that of metals in the history of civilization. At the bulk scale, interest in alloys arises since they have different physical and chemical properties compared to their individual constitutive elements. In addition to this composition dependence, they are on the nanoscale and have three additional knobs of freedom, i.e., size, morphology, and segregation/ordering, playing a major role in the properties of the nano-alloy. In this context, this webinar will focus on recent advances in the study of the properties and applications of nano-alloy materials, in addition to their opportunities and challenges.
