Functional Semiconducting Nanomaterials and Applications in Energy Conversion and Environmental Remediation
This special issue belongs to the section "Energy and Catalysis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconducting nanomaterials have been attracting great attention with the expectation of clean, renewable, and sustainable technologies in energy and environmental fields. The novel photocatalytic and optoelectrical properties of semiconducting nanomaterials shed significant insights into emerging solar-driven research areas, including solar-to-fuel conversion by water splitting, solar-to-electricity conversion by solar cells, and environmental remediation by advanced oxidation process (AOP) along with their hybrid systems. In particular, the design of novel semiconducting nanomaterials and in-depth understanding of the reaction mechanisms will be the key drivers in achieving innovative energy and environmental applications. In this Special Issue in Nanomaterials, the new research findings on the extended version of semiconducting nanomaterials and their energy, environmental, and optoelectronic applications will be addressed where halide perovskites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and carbon-based materials will be included with materials design strategies.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
