Nano Environmental Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental pollution is a global risk and its magnitude is increasing day-by-day due to urbanization, heavy industrialization, and the changing lifestyles of people. In this context, providing clean air and water and a clean environment for people is a challenging task. The advent of nanotechnology has given immense scope and opportunities for the fabrication of desired nanomaterials with large surface-to-volume ratios (and hence excellent chemical reactivities) and unique functionalities to treat pollutants. The nanomaterials play major roles in environmental remediation and are used for purposes such as the treatment of natural waters, soils, sediments, industrial and domestic wastewater, mine tailings, and the polluted atmosphere. Despite the excellent progress in all types of nano environmental materials for environmental remediation, significant challenges remain to be addressed. Nano environmental materials have played and will undoubtedly continue to play critical roles in the future developments of environmental remediation technologies.

This Special Issue will collect state-of-the-art works on nano environmental materials, particularly on the application of nanostructured materials and nanoscale materials for a wide range of environmental applications. In addition to original research papers, comprehensive review articles are most welcome. It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit contributions to this Special Issue.

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. 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.
