Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, increasing nanoscience applications have been experiencing impressive advances in the fields of catalysis, electronics, energy and health. Functionalized nanomaterials have shown growing and exciting opportunities in nanoscience due to their unique geometrical configuration, tunable optical/chemical property, high surface area, and friendly biocompatibility. In general, researchers need to address two scientific obstacles for building robust nanoplatforms in these fields: 1) developing sophisticated nanotechnology that refers to techniques capable of design, synthesis, and control of nanomaterials that offer desired material properties; 2) endowing the novel physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials which can be applied and engineered to meet applications’ requirements. This Special Issue aiming at toward a better understanding of the synthesis method, reaction mechanism, enhanced performance, and wide applications for different nanostructured systems.
We welcome researchers share their studies and findings in this promising theme, and invite the submission of original research papers, review articles, and perspectives on topics including, but not limited to:
- Synthesis of functionalized nanomaterials with novel shape, size, components, active sites;
- Engineering stable electrode materials and energy storage device with nanostructured materials;
- Electro-, photo-, or thermos-catalytic processes, like pollutant degradation, water splitting, CO2 conversion, N2 electroreduction, H2 evolution, using nanomaterials;
- Fabricating smart nanoplatforms for electronics detectors, wearable/implantable sensors, and energy harvesting;
- Disease diagnosis and therapy, biosafety assessment and biomarker detection in nanomedicine;
- Theoretical analysis of reaction processes and mechanism occurred in nanostructural system.

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.
