Sustainable Materials for Energy and Environmental Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental sustainability fulfils our duty to safeguard and preserve the world's ecosystems and environmental assets to maintain health and welfare. The most efficient use of our natural resources, renewable energy generation, re-utilization and circular economic systems are important factors in a sustainable environment. The progress in the preparation of numerous nanomaterials including metals, metal oxides, 2D materials, carbon-based materials, and their composites through sustainable green methods and their efficient performance in various applications shows a promising development toward environmental sustainability. The major research areas included in this theme are materials science, energy production, energy conversion, energy storage, environmental science, microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, and agriculture science. This Special Issue's purpose is to discuss the recent development in the utilization of various nanomaterials for sustainable energy and environmental applications, including bio-microfluidic and piezoelectric materials for microfluidics, solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, photocatalysts, dye degradation, water purification, bioremediation, air purification, and any other bio-related 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
