Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore advanced research and innovative developments in the photoelectric and catalytic properties of nanomaterials and low-dimensional structures. Nanomaterials and low-dimensional structures, such as quantum dots, nanowires, and 2D materials, exhibit unique photoelectric and catalytic properties due to their reduced dimensions and enhanced surface-to-volume ratios. These properties are pivotal for applications in energy conversion, storage, sensors, and environmental remediation.
We welcome the submission of articles that address the synthesis, characterization, and application of these materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel synthesis methods for nanomaterials and low-dimensional structures.
- The use characterization techniques to probe their photoelectric and catalytic properties.
- The design and optimization of nanomaterials for improved photoelectric performance in solar cells, LEDs, and photodetectors.
- Catalytic applications in water splitting, OER/HER/ORR and CO2 reduction, and organic transformations.
- Theoretical and computational studies that provide insights into the mechanisms governing these properties.
This Special Issue aims to connect researchers from diverse fields to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and advance our understanding of the fundamental and applied aspects of nanomaterials and low-dimensional structures.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
