Environmental Functional Materials for Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental pollution and energy crisis have prompted an urgent demand for sustainable development. Over the past few decades, the development and utilization of environmentally functional materials with unique physical, chemical and biological properties and excellent environmental effects have been critical, becoming a research object and hotspot that has attracted wide attention across many fields, such as chemistry, materials and environmental sciences. Significant advances have been achieved toward the rational design of functional nanomaterials and the improvement of reactor configurations. Deep understanding on the design principles, functionalization strategies and application prospects are of essential importance to accelerate research and development, clarify the fundamental mechanisms and address practical challenges concerning the widespread applications.

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. Sustainability 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.
