Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we all know, water pollution remains a significant global concern as it poses risks to public health, the environment, water resources, and infrastructure due to the ongoing challenges related to industrial pollution, agricultural runoff, urban runoff, sewage and wastewater, emerging contaminants, and microbial contaminants. Proper wastewater treatment and management are essential to mitigate these problems and ensure a clean and safe environment for current and future generations. Nanomaterials have gained significant attention in recent years for their potential applications in wastewater treatment. Their unique properties, such as high surface area, reactivity, and tunable characteristics, make them promising candidates for addressing various challenges in water and wastewater treatment. Hence, we are introducing this Special Issue to discuss the latest developments and trends in novel designs and applications of nanomaterials for wastewater treatment.
Original research and review papers are welcome, and topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Circular economy;
- Innovative functional nanomaterials and hybrid systems;
- Developed and innovative strategies for innovative functional nanomaterials and hybrid systems;
- Wastewater treatment applications of functional hybrid systems;
- Advanced pollutant-detecting sensors;
- Solutions and sustainability (2S);
- Environmental/analytical chemistry;
- Green synthesis/benign functional nanomaterials for wastewater treatment.

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 Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
