Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last decade has been the rise of reticular materials, a new class of advanced porous solids that have emerged with high potential in a myriad of applications. Holde on unusual high surface areas these atomistic controllable materials remain world records in terms of property and performance.
These fascinating structures waited to demonstrate their structural and chemical stability to the 2010s when the irruption of high valent MOFs, flagship by UiO-66, dispersed the doubts of a large percentage of the community trapping the attention of chemists and material scientist outbreaking all, but not only, surface and transport related performance, from gas storage, contaminants removal, separation, permeation, catalysis, sensing, drug deliver, capacitors or conductors. This unusual potential among the different kind of materials prompt them as headliners of the near transition to circular economy.
In this special issues entitled “Reticular (MOF and COF) Nanomaterials for sustainable application” we aim to highlight novel contributions of this crystalline structures in this transition to circular economy, including from the green and sustainable synthesis and waste valorization to their application as active phase of low energy demand and efficient separation processes, clean energy conversion, energy conversion driven by non-exhausting sources or environmental remediation among others.
We are pleased to invite you the special issues entitled “Reticular (MOF and COF) Nanomaterials for sustainable application” with a scope on green, sustainable synthesis and waste valorization of nanoMOFs, COFs and MOPs and their application in sustainable processes, such us efficient separation, energy conversion and storage, with special emphasis on energy conversion processes driven by non-exhausting sources and, of course, the application of those materials in environmental remediation processes.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the prompting potential of those fascinanting materials in the transition to circular economy and contribution.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
