Widespread Application of Advanced Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of nanomaterials has witnessed unprecedented growth, driven by advances in synthesis, characterization, and application strategies across diverse scientific and engineering domains. Owing to their unique physical, chemical, and structural properties—such as high surface-to-volume ratio, tunable electronic structure, and size-dependent quantum effects—advanced nanomaterials are becoming indispensable in the development of next-generation technologies.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for the latest developments, emerging trends, and innovative applications of advanced nanomaterials. We particularly welcome high-quality contributions that focus on multidisciplinary and real-world applications, as well as fundamental studies that deepen the understanding of structure–property relationships at the nanoscale.

Scope of the Special Issue includes (but is not limited to):

• Nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells)
• Nanomaterials in environmental remediation (e.g., adsorption, photocatalysis, sensing)
• Nanocomposites for structural and functional applications
• Smart nanomaterials with stimuli-responsive behavior
• Nanomaterials in electronics, photonics, and optoelectronics
• Sustainable and green synthesis of nanomaterials
• Computational and AI-assisted design of nanostructures
• Advances in characterization techniques for nanomaterials

We invite original research articles, and comprehensive reviews that highlight the transformative potential of nanomaterials in widespread applications. Submissions from interdisciplinary collaborations are particularly encouraged.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
