Emerging Trends in Electroconductive Materials: Functionalizations, Formulations and Composites

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the emerging trends in electroconductive materials and their applications in various fields. The rapid advancements in this area have opened up new possibilities for the development of efficient electronic devices, energy storage systems, sensors, and biomedical materials. This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research and innovative contributions that explore the latest trends in electroconductive materials.

We invite researchers and scientists to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspective papers covering a broad range of topics related to electroconductive materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Carbon-based materials: graphene, carbon nanotubes, and other carbon-based materials with exceptional electrical conductivity and their compositions in microscopic level.
2. Metal and metal oxides: metal and metal oxides and their diverse electrical conductivities for applications in catalysis and energy storage, as well as the underlying mechanisms for controlling these characteristics.
3. Hybrid materials: integration of organic and inorganic materials to combine electrical conductivity with improved performance in materials design.
4. Nanotechnology: utilization of nanoscale materials, such as metal nanoparticles and nanowires, for advanced applications in electronics, energy conversion, and biosensors.
5. Composite materials: development of electroconductive composites with enhanced properties for specific applications.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue, which will contribute to advancing the field of electroconductive materials and promoting their practical applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
