Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, the development and use of thin films and nanostructured materials to enhance physical and chemical properties of materials have been common practice in the field of materials science and engineering. The progress and improvement that have recently been made in tailoring the unique properties of thin films and nanostructured materials, such as high surface area-to-volume ratio, surface charge, structure, anisotropic nature, and tuneable functionalities, allow expanding the range of their possible applications from mechanical, structural, and protective coatings to electronics, energy, sensing, optoelectronics, catalysis, and biomedicine. Since these materials have demonstrated remarkable applicable potential, I believe that the topic is timely and relevant.
This Special Issue of Molecules will attempt to cover the recent advances in electrochemical synthesis, characterization, and applications of diverse thin films and nanostructured materials. Potential topics related to thin films and nanostructured materials include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Electrochemical synthesis;
- Electrochemical characterization;
- The control and understanding of structure–property relationships;
- Functional materials and devices;
- Materials for energy conversion and storage;
- Biomedical applications;
- Electrochemical sensors and electrocatalytic materials;
- Emerging thin film technologies;
- Surface modification;
- Innovations in electrochemical cells.
I kindly invite you to submit contributions in the form of high-quality short communications, original research articles, and review papers.
Dr. Mohammad Bagher Ghasemian

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
