Novel and Multifunctional Materials for Water and Wastewater Treatment and Environmental Protection

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new Special Issue focusing on the development of novel and multifunctional nano/materials for water and wastewater treatment and environmental protection.

The objective of this Special Issue is to present and highlight the current research developments in the area of novel material development, including single-phase and multi-phase nano/materials (nanocomposites and heterojunctions) that possess multifunctionality. Applications include water and wastewater treatment, the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants, and clean/green hydrogen energy production, as well as air decontamination, carbon management, CO₂ capture, conversion, and utilization. Contributions focusing on the fundamental understanding of reaction mechanisms, including through computational studies, are also welcome. The development of efficient, novel, multifunctional nano/materials for solving environmental- and energy-related issues through precise material technology and engineering, as well as aspects related to process engineering, are considered crucial in order to implement large-scale applications.

The current Special Issue will focus on the synthesis methods of novel, multifunctional nano/materials, as well as on studies that elucidate fundamental mechanistic aspects and theoretical works. Contributions of original research articles, both in regard to fundamental and applied science, as well as reviews, mini-reviews and perspectives are welcome.

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-blind 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.
