Applications of Nanoparticles in the Environmental Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

The application of nanomaterials continues to grow across multiple disciplines. There are many potential benefits from their use as well as numerous potential risks associated with their applications.

These benefits may come from the potential applications in environmental remediation, important catalysis environmental reactions (such as enhanced advanced oxidation processes or photocatalysis), energy storage (battery technology or capacitor technology), energy production, and catalysis, as well as the application of nano-fertilizers and nano-based cleaning technologies, among others. The negative effects arise from the use of nanomaterials and are typically caused by the accumulation of nanoparticles in the environment and within various organisms released in various environments.

This Special Issue is intended to look at the potential environmental advantages from the use of nanoparticles in all areas of environmental sciences as well as the fate and/or transport of these materials in the environment.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
