Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid industrialization and human activities have led over the last few decades to severe environmental pollution which has affected a large part of our planet. Nanomaterials-based photocatalytic processes have shown high potential in disinfection of aqueous media by a large number of pollutants, such as dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, toxins, and so on. This special issue aspires to collect regular and review articles focusing on the use of nanomaterials and nanotechnology to advance techniques able to combat against various types of pollutions, based on photocatalytic approaches that are efficient, reliable, environmentally friendly and cost effective. Contributions should include narrow and wide bandgap semiconductors exploiting visible and UV light, as well as new concepts for advancing immobilized photo-reactors.
Topics include but are not limited to: synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials and hybrid nanostructures (i.e. core/shell) of various dimensionalities; applications of nanomaterials for water disinfection from various type of pollutants (dyes, pharmaceuticals, etc.); slurry and immobilized photocatalysts, etc.

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. Applied Nano is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
