Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The escalating global energy crisis and severe environmental pollution necessitate the urgent development of sustainable technologies. Nanomaterials, distinguished by their high specific surface area and tunable physicochemical properties, have emerged as pivotal candidates for addressing these dual challenges. This Special Issue, “Advanced Nanomaterials for Clean Energy Utilization and Pollution Control,” aims to gather cutting-edge research on the design, synthesis, and application of novel nanomaterials.
We invite contributions focusing on nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors, as well as photocatalytic and electrocatalytic hydrogen production. Furthermore, we welcome studies on nanomaterials applied in pollution control, including the adsorption and catalytic degradation of air and water pollutants, and CO2 capture and utilization. This issue will provide a platform for discussing recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology that facilitate the transition toward a greener, low-carbon future.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
