Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology has generated several innovative solutions for promoting efficient environmental remediation. This technology makes use of nanomaterials manufactured with specific characteristics such as high efficiency, reactivity, and adjustable pore volume. Carbonaceous nanomaterials (CNMs) have seen recent development, including carbon nanotubes, nanocarbon particles, and carbon nanopores. Additionally, various types of nanosilicon material have been used in equal measure, such as silicon nanotubes, silicon nanoparticles, and silicon nanopores, as well as nanomaterials based on polymer, nanofibers, and aerogels that are also used for the adsorption of heavy-metal wastewater. This Special Issue aims to report the use of nanostructured materials in electrochemistry for the enhancement of electrosynthesis of oxidants, environmental remediation, electroanalysis, and energy storage. Papers focusing on the preparation and characterization of nanostructured cathode materials and nanodiamond and the electrogeneration of powerful oxidants (hydroxyl radical, active chlorine, persulfate, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide) are welcome.

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.
