Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We can announce a new edition of the Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Photocatalytic Nanomaterials for Environmental Applications”.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will present current photocatalytic materials for environmental applications, including nanocrystals, nanocarbons, and nanocomposites. Due to its universality, affordability, and sustainability, solar energy has recently attracted extensive interest for fighting the global energy crisis and environmental pressure. Fueled by global demand for energy, as photocatalysis can impel chemical reactions, it is regarded as an ideal green chemical technology. In the field of environmental remediation, photocatalysis has also been widely developed and successfully applied for various reactions, such as the degradation of organic pollution, reduction of Cr(VI), NOx removal, and VOC combustion.
Compared with the traditional particles, nanosized catalysts exhibit unique physical, photoelectronic, and chemical properties. Therefore, nanocatalysts are also expected to have superior photocatalytic performance in various chemical reactions. For this Special Issue, we invite leading groups to publish their latest research results on advanced nanomaterials for photocatalysis in the field of environmental remediation.

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. 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.
