Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite all researchers in the field of multi-functional nanomaterials and applications, especially the participants of the 5th International Forum on Micro-Nano Technology and Composites, to submit their original research papers for this Special Issue on “Harvesting Electromagnetic Fields with Nanomaterials: Selected Papers from the International Forum on Micro-Nano Technology and Composites”, to be published in Nanomaterials.

This Special Issue includes selected papers from the 5th International Forum on Micro-Nano Technology and Composites, to be held on 25-27 October in Zhengzhou, China. Responding to the application from the Low-Dimensional Electromagnetic Functional Materials and Devices sub-forum, a Special Issue entitled "Harvesting Electromagnetic Fields with Nanomaterials: Selected Papers from the International Forum on Micro-Nano Technology and Composites" is planned. The topics of this Special Issue will contain the accepted papers presented during the forum, related to “nanotechnologies and nanomaterials”, and mainly include the following:

  1. First-principle calculation, design, development, and application of wave absorbing materials and electromagnetic shielding materials;
  2. Design, development, and application of metamaterial absorbers;
  3. First-principle calculation, photocatalysis, photoluminescence, and photoelectric properties of 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.

The SnO2@Bi2O3 core-shell heterojunction structure was designed and synthesized via a hydrothermal method, and the structure and morphology of the synthesized samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Based on the conclusions from XRD and SEM, it can be observed that as the hydrothermal temperature increases, the content of Bi2O3 coated on the surface of SnO2 spheres gradually increases, and the diameter of Bi2O3 nanoparticles also increases. At a hydrothermal temperature of 160 °C, the SnO2 spheres are fully coated with Bi2O3 nanoparticles. This paper investigated the gas-sensitive performance of the SnO2@Bi2O3 sensor towards ethanol gas. Gas sensitivity tests at the optimal operating temperature of 300 °C showed that the composite prepared at 160 °C achieved a response value of 19.7 for 100 ppm ethanol. Additionally, the composite exhibited excellent response to 100 ppm ethanol, with a response time of only 4 s, as well as good repeatability. The excellent gas-sensitive performance of the SnO2@Bi2O3 core-shell heterojunction towards ethanol gas is attributed to its p-n heterojunction material properties. Its successful preparation contributes to the realization of high-performance heterostructure ethanol gas sensors. Full article

In this study, square–star-shaped leaf-like BiVO4 nanomaterials were successfully synthesized using a conventional hydrothermal method. The microstructure, elemental composition, and gas-sensing performance of the materials were thoroughly investigated. Morphological analysis revealed that BiVO4 prepared at different reaction temperatures exhibited square–star-shaped leaf-like structures, with the most regular and dense structures formed at 150 °C, exhibiting a large specific surface area of 2.84 m2/g. The response performance of the BiVO4 gas sensors to different target gases was evaluated, and the results showed that the prepared BiVO4 gas sensor exhibited a strong response to NH3. At the optimal operating temperature of 300 °C, its sensitivity to 5 ppm NH3 reached 13.3, with a response time of 28 s and a recovery time of 16 s. Moreover, the gas sensor exhibited excellent repeatability and anti-interference performance. These findings indicate that square–star-shaped leaf-like BiVO4 holds great potential in environmental monitoring and industrial safety detection, offering new insights for the development of high-performance gas sensors.
