Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low dimensional nanomaterials and quantum dots are a class of nanomaterials that possess unique optical, magnetic, and electronic properties due to their small size and large surface area. These materials have significant potential for diverse applications in areas such as drug delivery, biosensing, imaging and energy storage. One of the major challenges in using these materials is the high cost of their synthesis. However, recent advances in low cost synthesis techniques have led to the development of eco-friendly and scalable methods for the production of these materials.
Analysis and characterization of these nanomaterials is also crucial for their successful application. A range of analytical techniques, including TEM, SEM, XPS, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and AFM are utilized for characterization. In addition, theoretical modeling, computational simulation and systems biology approaches have been employed to capture and predict the properties and behavior of these materials. Overall, low dimensional nanomaterials and quantum dots offer great promise for addressing various challenges in medicine, energy and electronics. Cost-effective synthesis, advanced characterization and modeling techniques will further enhance our understanding and enable their successful application in various fields.
The purpose of this special issue is to collect the latest research results in the synthesis, analysis and characterization of low dimensional nanomaterials and quantum dots. We welcome the submission of original research articles and reviews by scholars in related fields.
