Welcome from the Chairs

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 5th International Online Conference on Nanomaterials (IOCN 2025), which is hosted online.

With the rapid development of science and technology, nanomaterials, as an important branch of new materials science, represent a bright and unique star in the vast sky of modern science and technology. With their unique physical and chemical properties, they have shown unparalleled potential in numerous disciplines and industries and are profoundly changing our lives and the face of the world. From the manufacture of high-performance chips in the field of electronic information, to the development of efficient batteries and clean energy in the energy field, and from precision diagnosis and targeted therapy in the field of biomedicine to pollution control and ecological restoration in the field of environmental protection, nanomaterials play a vital role and have become a key force in promoting technological breakthroughs and innovative development in various fields.

IOCN 2025 is dedicated to providing a platform for in-depth academic exchange and ideological collision for outstanding scholars and researchers in the field of advanced nanomaterials. The scope of IOCN 2025 is to cover the entire breadth of nanomaterials research and provide a forum for presenting and discussing new results.

  • Nanomedicine and Bionanotechnology;
  • Nanoenergies and Nanocatalysis;
  • Nanophotonic, Nanoelectronics, Nanosensors and Devices;
  • Modeling and Simulation of Nanostructures and Nanodevices;
  • Environmental Nanoscience and Nanotechnology;
  • Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties of Nanomaterials.
IOCN 2025 will be free of charge for presenters and visitors. There will be an opportunity to publish peer-reviewed and accepted papers in a Special Issue of Nanomaterials. MDPI offers a 20% discount on the publication fees for this Special Issue.

We look forward to your contributions.

Yours Sincerely,

Prof. Dr. Eugenia Valsami-Jones

Introduction
Bio
I hold a degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Athens (Greece) and a PhD in Geochemistry from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UK). I consider my self to be a scientific hybrid with diverse interests. My current research focuses around the mechanisms involved in nanoscale processes in a biological and environmental context. I am interested in chemical species stability and transformations in the environment. I have studied extensively the reactivity and potential toxicity and fate of nanomaterials in the environment. I have pioneered the development of traceable stable-isotope labelled nanomaterials and is currently working on the development of analytical solutions for the improvement in speed and quality of identification of nanoscale objects in complex matrices.

Dr. Guanying Chen has been a professor at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), since 2013. He also serves as a research faculty at the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics (ILPB), SUNY Buffalo, since 2011. His research interests focus on lanthanide-doped materials, upconversion, nanocrystals and crystals, biophotonics, and nanostructured solar cells. He has published more than 110 peer-reviewed papers in journals such as Chem. Rev., Chem. Soc. Rev., Acc. Chem. Res., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Adv. Mater., ACS Nano, etc. He has an H index of 58 and more than 16,000 total citations. He received the Top-Notch Young Investigator Award from the Department of the Central Committee of China in 2015, Young Changjiang Professor from Ministry of Education China in 2019, Top 100 National Excellent PhD Dissertation Nomination Award of China in 2011, and the Distinguished Young Investigator Career Award of HIT in 2015. He sits on editorial boards for six SCI journals, including Scientific Reports, Nanomaterials, Crystals, and the Journal of Rare Earths.

Registration


The registration for The 5th International Online Conference on Nanomaterials will be free of charge! The registration includes attendance to all conference sessions.

If you are registering several people under the same registration, please do not use the same email address for each person, but their individual university email addresses. Thank you for your understanding.

Please note that the submission and registration are two separate parts. Only scholars who registered can receive a link to access the conference live streaming. The deadline for registration is 14th September 2025.

Instructions for Authors

Procedure for Submission
IOCN 2025 will accept abstracts only. The accepted abstracts will be available online on Sciforum.net during and after the conference.

Important Deadlines
1. Deadline for abstract submission: 21st April 2025.
2. Announcement of oral and poster abstract results: 23rd May 2025. You will be notified of the acceptance of an oral/poster presentation in a separate email.

Certificates of Participation are available in your logged-in area of Sciforum.net, under “My Certificates” after the conference.

Abstract Submission
Abstract submissions should be completed online by registering with www.sciforum.net and using the "Submit Abstract" function on conference homepage. No physical template is necessary.

1. The abstract structure should include the introduction, methods, results, and conclusions sections of about 200–300 words in length.
2. All abstracts should be submitted and presented in clear, publication-ready English with accurate grammar and spelling.
3. You may submit multiple abstracts. However, only one abstract will be selected for oral presentation.
