Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the greatest challenge in wastewater treatment has been to reduce its negative economic and environmental implications. Nanostructured materials have many unique properties, such as a large surface area, structural anisotropy, tunable bandgap, and high carrier mobility. As a result of these properties, they have attracted increasing research interest for their application in electronics, environmental pollution prevention, and catalysis, as well as in energy storage and energy conversion. Overall, nanomaterials have the potential to meet the higher effluent quality requirements and reduce the energy consumption in wastewater treatment.
This Special Issue focuses on the properties of nanostructured materials and their associated novel devices for wastewater treatment. We welcome submissions of original research-based articles and reviews related to nanostructured materials.

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.
