Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials have been a major focus of recent research, and represent a milestone of nanoscience and nanotechnology. They are a broad and continuously growing area of development. Their impact on modern industry is huge, and also boost both academia and education. Thus, the synthesis of novel nanomaterials, aiming at new potential applications, is fundamental in the development of high-tech industry and the implementation of scientific achievements in our daily lives.
The goal of the current Special Issue on New Insights into Design and Properties of Nanomaterials is to attract manuscripts that present state-of-the-art studies on the preparation of novel nanomaterials with a wide range of applications, from optics and optoelectronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, sensing, biomedicine, and more. We also welcome reports on new or modified approaches that lead to new nanomaterials with enhanced properties, as well as those on new techniques that help to achieve such nanomaterials.
Articles published in this Issue will cover new approaches to preparation and characterization which smooth the route from the design to the realization of nanostructures with properties that are highly anticipated for various applications. Although we will abbreviate the submission of all reports on nanomaterials prepared by means of physical, chemical and even biological processes, special attention will be paid to products prepared via environment-friendly and reagent-saving methods. We especially welcome experimental and computational studies that reveal the relationship between structure and properties, and then demonstrate the synthesis of nanomaterials with desired structure and properties.
In addition to more conventional inorganic nanomaterials, research on the directed synthesis of molecular nanostructures (supramolecular assemblies, molecular frameworks, etc.) is also expected to enrich the content of this Issue. Papers developing our understanding of how the use of molecular precursors may govern the composition, morphology, and surface chemistry of nanomaterials also meet the objectives of this project.
In summary, this Special Issue welcomes communications, full papers and reviews from all researchers working on novel nanomaterials, from their design to synthesis, characterization, and application.
