Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Sustainable Environmental Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Given increasing industrialization, rising global populations, growing fuel demand, spiraling pollution, and global climate change, environmental challenges have garnered significant global attention in areas ranging from waste management to sustainable development. The development of effective and affordable materials for environmental remediation technologies is required to tackle complicated and interlinked environmental issues. Due to their high surface areas, tunable surface chemistry, and distinctive properties, 2D nanomaterials are highly important for environmental monitoring (e.g., chemical or bio-sensors), environmental remediation, and environmental energy. In this Special Issue, we highlight how 2D nanomaterials can play a significant role in addressing existing environmental problems.

This Special Issue considers the following topics:

• Two-dimensional nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for water and wastewater treatment;
• Two-dimensional nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for pollutant adsorption;
• Two-dimensional nanomaterial-based photocatalysts for removing pollutants;
• Two-dimensional nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for membrane separation, desalination, and deionization;
• Two-dimensional nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for environmental pollutant sensing/detection, including electrochemical, fluorometric, colorimetric, electrochemiluminescent, photoelectrochemical, and field-effect transistor sensors;
• Two-dimensional nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for the capture of CO₂ and other gaseous molecules, as well as the catalytic conversion of CO₂;
• Two-dimensional nanomaterials and their nanocomposites for microbial treatment and electrochemical remediation;
• Environmental risks of two-dimensional nanomaterials.

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.
