Advanced Nanostructured Composites for Environmental Remediation and Water Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Rapid industrialization, agricultural intensification, and urbanization have led to severe water pollution worldwide, particularly in developing regions. Traditional treatment technologies often struggle to efficiently remove persistent contaminants such as heavy metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and emerging pollutants from wastewater.

Over the past two decades, significant advances have been made in the field of nanostructured composites. These materials, including graphene-based hybrids, metal oxide–polymer composites, carbon nanotube frameworks, and MOF-derived nanocomposites, offer exceptional surface area, tunable functionality, and multifunctional properties that enable superior adsorption, photocatalysis, and membrane separation performance.

This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Nanostructured Composites for Environmental Remediation and Water Treatment”, aims to showcase the latest developments in the design, green synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced nanostructured composites for sustainable water purification and environmental cleanup. We invite contributions focusing on novel composite architectures, mechanistic insights, performance in real wastewater matrices, regeneration/reusability, scalability, and life-cycle assessment.

Original research articles, reviews, and communications addressing these topics are highly welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions to this valuable area of research.

Dr. Huu Tap Van

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. Materials 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 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.
