Nanotechnology for Environmental Remediation

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental pollution is growing at an exponential rate, leading to an urgent need to design devices that can help to monitor and remediate the health of the Earth. Meeting just one of these requirements is not enough to solve the problem of pollution: It is essential to both know the type and concentration of pollutants and to be able to remove them in order to appropriately treat the specimen to be remediated. It is in this context that devices based on nanomaterials come into play, as they can assist us in solving this huge and urgent problem.

The scope of this forthcoming Special Issue will focus on recent innovative and pioneering works in the field of nanotechnology for environmental remediation. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Adsorbent nanomaterials;
• Pollutant detection methods (spectroscopic, electrochemical, etc..);
• Chemisorption and physisorption modeling;
• Modeling, simulation and characterization;
• Functional nanodevices;
• Sensing and signal processing.

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.
