Advanced Applications of Organometallic Nanomaterials
Description
Nanomaterials have distinctive properties compared to the bulk form. Among nanomaterials, nanometals played a crucial role in various fields such as environmental science, drug delivery, biomedicine, and catalysis. Recently, nanometals synthesized on organic materials including polymers, small molecules, and natural compounds have been widely studied and developed for numerous advanced applications.
The controllable and cost-effective synthesis of nanometals requires cutting-edge technologies to develop next-generation devices with many potential applications. Green approaches for nanometallic production also provide additional advantages for the applicability of the nanomaterials in industrial products. In addition, nanomaterials containing metals make further research necessary to design new materials for multifunctional applications in the future.
This Special Issue focuses on progress in synthetic technology of organometallic nanomaterials and their applications in biology, environmental science, drug delivery, sensing, and catalysis. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that are related to both fundamental aspects and applications of organometallic nanomaterials.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Synthesis and characterization of metal-based nanostructure materials
- Controllable synthesis of metallic nanomaterials supported on organic materials
- Biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles for biological and environmental applications
- Catalytic activity of organometallic nanomaterials towards organic synthesis
- Photocatalyst based on organometallic nanomaterials for environmental treatment
- Organometallic nanomaterials for drug delivery and sensing
- Nanometals applied in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) detection
