Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present Special Issue is a continuation of a previous successful Special Issue, titled “Catalytic Nanomaterials for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development” (https://www.mdpi.com/
journal/nanomaterials/special_issues/97H9AS16KI), hosted by the same editor.
Industrial development is constantly improving, but the resulting problem of environmental pollution is serious. New pollutants such as industrial waste, agricultural residues, and domestic pollutants have contaminated the living environment and affected sustainable human development. The main traditional pollution treatment methods are air separation and carbon adsorption. However, since pollutants cannot be fully removed, developing new sustainable energy production approaches to address climate change, water resource regulation, and industrial wastewater reduction represents an important research challenge.
This Special Issue intends to highlight recent progress and challenges in the advancement of catalytic nanomaterials for environmental protection and sustainable development. We welcome research on the design, synthesis, theory, structure, and characterization of various catalytic nanomaterials, including graphene, metal-based nanoparticles, transition metal dichalcogenides, and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Furthermore, their composites play an important role in achieving higher performance in the environmental catalysis field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanocatalysts for soil/groundwater remediation;
- Nanocatalysts for wastewater treatment;
- Nanocatalysts for organic pollutant removal;
- Coupled techniques for nanocatalyst-mediated environmental remediation.

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.
