Scope

• Controlled synthesis and assembly of nanostructured materials, including functionalization and surface engineering, are central to the journal纳米结构材料的可控合成与组装是核心方向，含功能化与表面工程。
• Nanoscale characterization is treated as a subject in its own right, from electron microscopy to spectroscopy and in situ measurement纳米尺度表征单列为一个方向，从电子显微学到谱学与原位测量。
• Nanofabrication and patterning, including lithography and self-assembly routes, are covered alongside device integration纳米制备与图形化包括光刻与自组装路线，并与器件集成一并纳入。
• Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics, nanophotonics and nanosensors form the device-facing part of the scope纳米电子学与分子电子学、纳米光子学与纳米传感器构成面向器件的板块。
• Nanomedicine, drug delivery and nanomechanics connect the journal to biomedical and mechanical communities纳米医学、药物递送与纳米力学把该刊与生物医学及力学群体连接起来。
• Nanocomposites and hybrid materials, including their interfaces and structure-property relations, are explicitly welcomed纳米复合材料与杂化材料及其界面和构效关系被明确纳入。
• The editors accept comprehensive articles, short communications and reviews, and position the journal as a forum for new concepts rather than incremental reports编辑接收综述性长文、短通讯与评论，并将该刊定位为新概念的平台而非增量结果的园地。

History

• Materials Today Nano was launched by Elsevier in 2018 as a member of the Materials Today family, with Volume 1 dated March 2018该刊由（Elsevier）于 2018 年创办，隶属（Materials Today）系列，第 1 卷标注为 2018 年 3 月。
• It is an online-only title that publishes article-level volumes rather than themed issues, with four volumes appearing in a typical year该刊为纯在线期刊，以论文级卷次而非主题期出版，通常每年四个卷次。
• Its impact factor moved from 8.109 in 2021 to 13.364 in 2022, then 8.2 in 2024 and 7.6 in 2025该刊影响因子由 2021 年的 8.109 升至 2022 年的 13.364，2024 年为 8.2，2025 年为 7.6。
• The journal has announced a transition to full open access, moving beyond the hybrid model under which it previously operated该刊已宣布转为完全开放获取，此前采用的是混合模式。
• The journal is one of several titles in the Materials Today family, which the publisher presents as a cross-disciplinary platform spanning incremental results and breakthrough discoveries该刊是（Materials Today）系列期刊之一，出版方将其定位为兼顾渐进结果与突破性发现的多学科平台。
