Advances in Green Synthesized Nanomaterials
Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection in Nanotechnology, Science and Applications on "Advances in Green Synthesized Nanomaterials".
Nanotechnology has revolutionized various fields, including medicine, electronics, and environmental science. However, traditional methods of synthesizing nanomaterials often involve toxic chemicals and high energy consumption, leading to significant environmental and health concerns. In response, green synthesis methods have emerged as a sustainable alternative, utilizing natural biological systems such as plants, bacteria, and fungi to produce nanomaterials. These methods not only reduce the environmental footprint but also offer unique properties and functionalities to the synthesized nanomaterials.
As the world faces the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, the need for sustainable and eco-friendly technologies has become increasingly important. Green synthesis methods align with the principles of green chemistry, aiming to minimize waste, reduce energy consumption, and use non-toxic reagents. These methods hold the potential to revolutionize various industries by providing safer and more sustainable alternatives to conventional nanomaterials.
To help raise the profile of this important area of research, Nanotechnology, Science and Applications is publishing a timely Article Collection on green synthesized nanomaterials.

Advancing Novel Nanozymes: Preparation, Performance Analysis, and Functional Application Design
Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection in Nanotechnology, Science and Applications on "Advancing Novel Nanozymes: Preparation, Performance Analysis, and Functional Application Design", organized by Dr. Amin Zhang (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China), Dr. Qian Zhang (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China) and Dr. Jin Cheng (Wuxi Center for Disease Control and Prevention, China).
Nanozymes, a class of nanomaterials with enzyme-like catalytic properties, have emerged as a ground-breaking innovation in the fields of nanotechnology and biotechnology. These artificial enzymes replicate the catalytic activities of natural enzymes while offering enhanced stability, cost-efficiency, and remarkable potential for multifunctional design. Since their discovery, nanozymes have garnered significant attention due to their versatility, enabling diverse applications in catalysis, biosensing, medicine, and environmental remediation.
The significance of nanozymes lies in their ability to overcome the inherent limitations of natural enzymes, such as their susceptibility to denaturation and high production costs. These challenges are particularly pressing in industries that require robust and reusable catalytic agents, including industrial processing, clinical diagnostics, and therapeutic applications. Moreover, the rapid evolution of nanozyme technologies has paved the way for ground-breaking innovations, such as combating antimicrobial resistance, engineering targeted cancer therapies, and fostering sustainable environmental solutions. By focusing on the preparation, performance optimization, and functional application design of novel nanozymes, this research not only enhances foundational scientific understanding but also delivers practical benefits across a broad spectrum of scientific and industrial domains.
This Article Collection aims to highlight the latest advancements in nanozyme research, covering their preparation, performance evaluation, and innovative applications. The scope includes, but is not limited to:
- Synthetic Strategies: Development of cutting-edge methodologies for nanozyme synthesis, including green and bio-inspired approaches.
- Mechanistic Insights: Elucidation of catalytic mechanisms and exploration of structure-property relationships.
- Biomedical Applications: Deployment of nanozymes in diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and targeted drug delivery systems.
- Environmental Applications: Applications of nanozymes in pollutant degradation, waste management, and sustainable catalysis.
- Integration in Multifunctional Systems: Design and incorporation of nanozymes into hybrid materials and advanced devices.
Please review the journal Aims and Scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript. The deadline for submitting manuscripts is 31 December 2025.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Nanotechnology, Science and Applications?
- It is an open access journal which means that your paper is available to anyone in the world to download for free directly from the Dove website.
- Although Nanotechnology, Science and Applications receives many papers, unlike most traditional journals, your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space. We are an electronic journal and there are no limits on the number or size of the papers we can publish.
- The time from submission to a decision being made on a paper can, in many journals, take some months and this is very frustrating for authors. Nanotechnology, Science and Applications has a quicker turnaround time than this. Generally peer review is complete within 3-4 weeks and the editor’s decision within 2-14 days of this. It is therefore very rare to have to wait more than 6 weeks for first editorial decision.
- Many authors have found that our peer reviewer’s comments substantially add to their final papers.
To recover our editorial and production costs and continue to provide our content at no cost to readers we charge authors or their institution an article publishing charge.
