Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoscale material catalysis is actively studied in the field of environmental protection. It has great potential and unique superiority in various aspects such as air pollutant elimination, wastewater purification, soil remediation, waste disposal, and CO2 conversion. The issues of how to synthesize efficient and highly selective catalysts and reveal the reaction/ inactivation are important topics in this field.
This Special Issue aims to report the latest innovative research and development in nanoscale material catalysis for the environmental protection field, covering a broad range of topics, including the design, synthesis, and application of nanoscale catalysts for pollutant removal or conversion in air, water, and soil. Revealing the related reaction/deactivation mechanism using various experimental and theoretical calculation means is also encouraged. We welcome contributions from all related groups that contribute to our understanding of this exciting and rapidly advancing field.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Nanoscale catalyst synthesis, characterization for environmental applications.
- Catalytic mechanisms and strategies for catalyst activation and regeneration.
- Catalytic strategies aimed at abating environmental pollutants, including air pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds), water pollutants, and soil pollutants.
- Catalytic reactions that adeptly transform CO2 into valuable and useful products.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
