Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, nanomaterials have advanced our daily life in every aspect. Above all, their advanced optical and electrical properties originating from their nano-size have revolutionized numerous fields, including optoelectronics, solar energy conversion, water purification, bioimaging, and fuel production. In recent years, the scope of nanomaterials has been largely expanded and integrated with other types of materials, such as semiconducting materials, porous materials, plasmonic materials, organic–inorganic hybrid materials, organic materials, 2D materials, and others. With the rapid development of nanomaterials, we believe that a collection of recent progress in this field is necessary.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-impact research papers and review papers about functional nanomaterials or nanostructures with unique optical and electrical properties, as well as their related applications in photocatalysis, optoelectronics, electrocatalysis, bioimaging, water treatment, and others. Besides nanomaterials, other materials with unique optical and electrical properties and related applications may also be explored. Materials such as nanocomposites, organic–inorganic hybrid materials, micro-sized semiconductors, porous materials, and 2D materials, among others, are also in the scope of this Special Issue. The scope of this Special Issue is broad, which includes the novel synthesis method for the materials, advanced characterization methods, in-depth mechanism studies, and applications related to their optical and electrical properties.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
