Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on nanoclusters invites scientists working at universities and research institute around the world to discuss the recent progresses and applications of nanoclusters. Nanoclusters are aggregates of atoms of metal or non-metal elements in mixed or pure forms. The properties of nanoclusters are different from bulk materials and vary a lot according to their sizes, shapes and compositions. Nanoclusters serve as an ideal platform for the discovery of novel atomic structures, analysis of never-before-seen chemical bonds, understanding of the fundamental mechanisms and inspiration for the design of nanomaterials. Nanoclusters with high stability can be used in many proposed applications, such as gas absorption, catalysis or building blocks for nanomaterials.
This Special Issue welcomes any original research articles or reviews on nanoclusters. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Experimental spectroscopy measurements of nanoclusters;
- Spectroscopic methods and instruments;
- Synthetic methods of nanoclusters;
- Theoretical calculations of atomic and electronic structures of nanoclusters;
- Experimental or proposed application of nanoclusters.
We look forward to hearing from you and receiving your submissions for this Special Issue.

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.
