Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor nanowires have been the subject of research interest since the early 1960s with the discovery of silicon micro-wires or whiskers, and they have been further actively investigated for the last three decades. Their unique physical dimension, surface, and bulk properties enable a vast network of devices with applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, thermoelectrics, energy conversion, and storage, as well as unusual applications for semiconductors such as biochemical sensors, drug delivery systems, and neural interfacing. Meanwhile, nanowire fabrication can usually be categorized into bottom-up or top-down; the device concepts and architectures are numerous and vary significantly by application type. While group IV () together with III–V compound semiconductor nanowires can be used across many different applications, nanowires based on other compound semiconductors as well as organic semiconductor nanowires have recently been introduced and have found niche applications.
The present Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to highlight the current advances in develo** devices based on semiconductor nanowires, for applications ranging from traditional electronics and photonics to energy conversion/storage and sensing. In the present Special Issue, we invite contributions from leading groups in the field with the aim of giving a balanced view of the current state of the art in this discipline.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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.
