Dear Colleagues,


In the past decades, the studies of nanoscience have been one of the hottest topics in materials science and technology fields and bring excellent performance for wide applications. Among the reported studies, the synthesis, characterizations, and applications of nanomaterials attract a lot of attention because they are the study centre of nanoscience. The methods for synthesizing nanomaterials, including metals, semiconductors, coordinated or organic compounds, polymers and their heterostructures have been widely studied in the past decade with controlling the morphologies, sizes, and electronic structures. Nowadays, chemists and material scientists are trying to prepare nanomaterials with modulations at the molecule or atom levels by more precise methods. Besides, the new facile and green methods for synthesizing and modulating nanomaterials would explore or enhance the applications. Characterizations are also important content to reveal the compositions, chemical states, structures, coordinated surroundings, defects, lattice strains, and so on, which affect the properties of nanomaterials. Recently, combining X-ray technologies, and microscopy with high resolution et al, new methods for in situ characterizations are welcome to investigate the properties variation as the structure change of nanomaterials. Indeed, characterizations for nanomaterials build a bridge to connect the structures and the properties or applications. As the goals of nanomaterials synthesis and characterization, the excellent properties brought by nanomaterials are expected for their applications in many fields such as in chemistry and chemical engineering, physics and electronics, bioimaging and medicine, et al. In short, nanomaterials synthesis, characterization, and application bring new possibilities for the coming world.


Therefore, the synthesis and characterizations of nanomaterials are based on their applications with multiple functions and excellent properties. The main objective of this section is to play a leading role in establishing “Nanomaterial synthesis, characterization, and application”, which is expected to collect more ideas or experience on designable synthesis nanomaterials, the new methods to characterize the structure and reveal the structure-properties connections.


We look forward to receiving your contributions.
