Functionalized Materials for Environmental Applications
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.
