Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, water pollution with different types of chemicals, waste products, or microorganisms critically impacts human health and the environment, causing severe economic consequences. In this context, the enforcement of stricter regulations raising public awareness and education on pollution prevention and water conservation and, even more, the development of innovative solutions that can enhance the detection and remediation of pollutants are essential for ecosystem preservation, ensuring sustainable access to clean water for future generations. Through interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue aims to showcase the cutting-edge advancements in nanoscale technologies and innovative designs to address critical challenges in water pollution, related to effective monitoring, detection, removal, and neutralization of various contaminants. We invite authors to submit both original research and review articles exploring the design, synthesis, characterization, and applicability of nanostructured materials that offer enhanced sensitivity and efficiency in detecting and removing a wide range of organic/inorganic contaminants and pathogens, highlighting such materials’ unique properties that enable their superior performance in sensing and filtration system technologies. Additionally, research on the environmental implications and potential risks associated with contaminants’ presence in real-world scenarios is welcome. By showcasing recent research and technological breakthroughs, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how nanoscale materials can be harnessed for sustainable and effective environmental remediation strategies, paving the way for safer and cleaner water resources and improved public health.

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.
