Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamics in the development of a wide spectrum of science and technology fields today are known to depend on the success in creating modern inorganic planar-type nanomaterials. Thus, the performance of the corresponding alternative energy sources, "smart" windows, gas sensors, electronics components, optics, catalytic systems, etc., largely depends on such materials' properties. Thus, studying the fundamental and applied aspects in the preparation of functional films is an urgent and practically significant scientific task. This Special Issue gives an opportunity for many scientists to present their research findings in the area of inorganic films for various purposes, demonstrating the correlation between their functional properties and the preparation conditions, crystalline structure, and the microstructural features. In addition, the effect of the specifics of the formation method for planar inorganic nanostructures (e.g., various printing technologies) on their properties may be considered.

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.
