Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials have advanced the environmental remediation field by providing cutting-edge solutions for pollution control and ecosystem restoration. Their unique properties—such as high surface area, reactivity, and tunable surface chemistry—make them highly effective for removing various contaminants from polluted air, water, and soil. This Special Issue highlights the latest advancements in nanomaterial-based remediation strategies, including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials (e.g., graphene, carbon nanotubes), nanobioceramics, polymers, polymeric nanocomposites, etc. This Special Issue welcomes contributions on the applications of these nanomaterials, such as adsorption, photocatalysis, chemical degradation, and nanofiltration membranes, to highlight their effectiveness in removing heavy metals, organic pollutants, and microbial contaminants from contaminated air, water, and soil. Future perspectives emphasize the development of eco-friendly, biodegradable nanomaterials and green synthesis approaches. Despite nanomaterials’ potential, challenges remain regarding their environmental safety and large-scale implementation. This Special Issue addresses concerns about nanotoxicity, long-term environmental impact, and the need for cost-effective, sustainable alternatives. Therefore, articles and review papers that address all these aspects are particularly encouraged.

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. 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.
