Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

As Topic Editors, we would like to invite you to contribute a paper to the Topic “Functionalized Materials for Environmental Applications”. Based on your expertise in this research field, we believe that you could offer a manuscript that meets the journal’s criteria for significance and scientific excellence. This Topic is dedicated to the synthesis, characterization, and application of different nanomaterials (noble metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, quantum dots, etc.) for environmental purposes such as the sensing, degradation and/or removal of different toxic analytes. The employment of these nanomaterials can be combined with hosting materials, such as hydrogels, sol–gels, aero-gels, polymers or other kind of matrices. Experimental and theoretical scientific research in environmental applications are welcome.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
