Advanced functional nanomaterials synthesis and crystal growth technology has been a subject of enormous interest. Research on nanomaterials has become increasingly popular because of their unique physical, chemical, optical, and catalytic properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Therefore, many efforts have been made to synthesize various dimensional nanostructures for new and efficient nanodevices. With their unique structures and novel properties, they cover a wide range of technologies, such as solid state lighting based on light-emitting diodes (LED), green energy electronics based on solar cell devices, nanocomposites, and biomedical engineering.

The major goal of this special issue is to provide a consolidated forum for research work related to advanced nanomaterial synthesis and crystal growth technology with functional nanomaterials for novel functionalization in up-to-date applications. We invite researchers to contribute their original research articles as well as review articles to join the ongoing efforts of understanding the nanooptoelectronics devices with nanomaterials. Papers related to advanced materials and structures are solicited, including (1) novel fabrication methods; (2) materials including functional oxides (II-VI nanomaterials) and III-V compounds with nitrides nanomaterials; (3) nanowires and nanoparticles; (4) self-assembly and nanoscale structures; (5) characterization; and (6) crystal growth technology.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Fabrication, synthesis processing, and characterization technologies for advanced nanomaterials
• Functional nanomaterials and other nanostructures for nanooptoelectronics
• Characterization of the advanced nanomaterial, structural, optical, and electronic properties of nanoscale functional nanomaterials
• Crystal growth related twins and point defects in nanomaterials
• Novel synthesis and properties of nanomaterials
