Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials and nanostructures have gained significance in recent decades owing to their higher efficiency than that of bulk materials, but also to the fact that the tunable physical, chemical, and biological properties offer advanced possibilities for various applications. In recent times, applications towards energy and environmental issues by means of nanomaterials have been the most attractive area of research. In addition, recycling is one of the strategies to reduce the waste and make it as sustainable. Nanostructured materials display better sustainable properties towards the reusability and separation of elements.
This Special Issue will focus on recent developments on the synthesis, optical properties, fabrication, modeling of nanomaterials for energy, separation, and recycling applications. Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit original research articles and reviews for this Special Issue.
The potential topics include but are not limited to:
Synthesis and Fabrication—nanomaterials, nanostructured catalytic materials, crystalline nanoporous materials, nanomembranes, nanocomposites, usage of biomass, metal–organic frameworks and quantum dots–monoliths, thin films, membranes, solar coatings;
Functionalization—doping, core shell, composite, deposition, surface modification, decorated on 2D sheets;
Applications—energy conversion including thermo, electro, and photo catalytic methods, solar absorbers, solar cells, solar collectors, H2 production, separation of nuclear elements (solid–liquid or with phase transformation), waste encapsulation, radiation damage adsorbents, cost-effective reusable material.

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. Crystals 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 2600 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.
