Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Driven by the rapid development of human civilization and technology, energy and environmental issues have increasingly attracted attention worldwide. In particular, the design of novel materials with good application performances in energy conversion and environmental remediation is a cutting-edge research topic. Semiconductor nanomaterials are a promising candidate due to their unique crystal and electronic structures, controlled composition and morphology, tuneable optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, etc. Therefore, this Special Issue, ‘‘Semiconductor Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion and Environmental Applications”, will cover the latest developments in semiconductor nanomaterials. We warmly welcome you to submit to the current special issue.

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. 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.
