Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding of basic phenomena occurring on surfaces and interfaces and the application of this knowledge for the development of materials, processes and devices which are of critical importance for transformational breakthroughs in the fields of clean energy technologies, microelectronics, personalized medicine and new pharmaceuticals—fields which are essential for the future of our society and planet. The fundamental knowledge, however, implies an understanding of the relationship between the material properties and the electronic and chemical structure at the nano- and atomic scale. Fortunately, surface analysis methods have been developed to provide exactly this type of information.
This Special Issue of the journal covers experimental and theoretical studies in physics, chemistry and pioneering applications of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures.
This issue accommodates the following topics:
- Physical, chemical, and biologicalphenomena at the surface and/or interface
- Ultrathinand/or submicron confined surfaces and interfaces
- Analysisand characterization of phenomena and processes occurring at surfaces and interfaces
- Nanostructuredsurfaces and interfaces
- Surface modificationof materials for advanced or engineered applications
- Novel experimental techniquesfor the production and analysis of surfaces and interfaces with emphasis on submicron phenomena
- Surface nanotechnology and devices
- Electrochemistry at surfaces and corrosion protection strategies
- Surface science applied to energy conversion and storage
- Surface engineering and functionalization
- Functional surfaces and coatings
- Biointerfaces
- Advanced theoretical contributionsin the field of surfaces and interfaces
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews related to materials for photovoltaic applications are all 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. 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.
