Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the nanometer size effect and quantum effect, nanoscale functional materials have been explored extensively in all aspects of materials science with excellent mechanical properties, electrical properties, magnetic properties, optical properties, sensitivity, catalysis, and photoactivity. The potential application includes various fields, such as fine ceramics, microelectronics, biological engineering, chemical, medical, energy storage, photovoltaic, and so on. Based on the reported studies, the current research efforts consist of exploring new materials, developing novel synthesis strategies, reducing the size of materials to a one or two dimensional (especially single atom materials), designing materials with special nanostructures and composite nanostructure, and optimizing the performances for practical application.
This Special Issue plans to showcase a collection of high-quality research articles focused on new developments in the design, synthesis, and applications of advanced functional nanomaterials for the study of material sciences, including nanotechnology, chemistry, physics, biology, and so on. Researchers are welcome to contribute to all areas of nanomaterials including, but not limited to:
- Synthesis of nanomaterials through novel methods;
- Design and synthesis of molecular precursors for nanomaterials;
- Colloidal synthesis of 0D nanoparticles (metal, oxides, sulfides, semiconductors, and so on);
- 2D materials, 1D nanofibers, and special nanostructured materials;
- Nanostructured materials or composites for photocatalyst and electrocatalyst;
- Fabrication of nanomaterials-based devices (solar cells, LEDs, batteries, supercapacitors, gas and light sensors, transistors, etc.);
- In situ technology to investigate the reaction mechanism of nanomaterials in potential 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. 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.
