Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the synthesis, characterization, and application of metal and metal oxide nanostructures. Recently, the development of metal nanoparticles and nanoclusters capped with specific functionalization capabilities has enabled huge developments across many fields, such as sensing, bio-sensing, imaging, water filtering, and drug delivery, to name only a few. At the same time, the study and development of metal oxide nanomaterials and the possibility of fine-tuning their properties through innovative material synthesis or developing composites with better performances offer a great advantage, mainly, but not only, in the energy and environmental fields.
In this Special Issue, we will attempt to cover the most recent advances in this huge field. Experimental and theoretical scientific research, together with potential or real applications, are warmly welcome.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
