Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gold and silver nanoparticles are among the wide variety of core materials available. Coupled with tunable surface properties in the form of an inorganic or inorganic–organic hybrid, they have been reported as an excellent material for a broad range of next-generation applications. Gold and silver nanoparticles still bring new application opportunities for nanotechnology.
This Special Issue on “Green Synthesis and Application of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles” will gather interdisciplinary works in the fields of material, biomedical, and chemical sciences. The Special Issue is dedicated to the novel synthesis of nanomaterials by biological approaches, as well as challenges such as the description of the mechanism formation of nanoparticles in various systems, and their stability and physicochemical characteristics, targeting novel applications of green nanomaterials in biological system. Advances in such materials will demonstrate specific properties and versatile applications in the future.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit original research manuscripts within the scope of this Special Issue. Short communication and state-of-the-art reviews will also be greatly appreciated.
Dr. Priyanka Singh
Guest Editor
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. Chemistry 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 1800 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.
