Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rare-earth elements are valuable strategic resources known for their unique physical and chemical properties. Nanostructured rare-earth materials, with their exceptional size, structure, and properties, exhibit remarkable functionalities that surpass conventional materials. In addition, these nanomaterials possess distinct optical, electrical, thermal, and magnetic properties that create novel characteristics. In particular, they exhibit excellent properties in energy conversion, nanomagnetism, catalysis, luminescence, and hydrogen storage.
In this Special Issue, we will delve into the latest research findings, development trends, and practical applications of rare-earth functional materials, aiming to gain further understanding of their unique value. We welcome contributions devoted to nanostructured rare-earth materials. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Design and preparation of rare earth-based, electromagnetic wave-absorbing nanomaterials;
- High-performance rare earth-based magnetic materials;
- Rare earth-based hydrogen storage materials and their applications;
- Precision processing of rare earth precursors and polishing materials;
- Rare-earth luminescent materials and photoelectric devices;
- New testing and characterization methods in rare-earth nanomaterials;
- Review articles on the progress of rare earth-based, electromagnetic wave-absorbing nanomaterials.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
