Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the world has faced increasingly urgent energy and environmental challenges and a higher demand for clean energy and water. Improved nanomaterials and nanotechnologies could be applied to such issues, benefiting the sustainable development of society. This Special Issue will act as a forum allowing scientists and engineers to exchange the latest knowledge on the use of nanomaterials for catalysis in energy and environmental fields.
The following topics are of particular interest for this Special Issue: catalytic synthesis of future energy sources, including hydrogen; catalytic carbon dioxide reduction; catalytic synthesis of ammonia; catalytic degradation of pollutants in wastewater; air-purification catalysts; and other energy or environmental applications. Researchers are encouraged to submit relevant studies with an emphasis on the application of catalysts for environmental purification of future energy synthesis.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
