Nanocatalysis for Environmental Protection, Energy, and Green Chemistry, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, nanoscience and nanotechnology represent cutting-edge areas of ​​modern science and technology across an array of applications. The design of nanocatalysts is now considered “one way” in modern heterogeneous catalysis. The rational design of nanostructured catalysts provides materials characterized by well-tailored activity/selectivity/stability in applications related to environmental protection and remediation, circular economy, sustainability, and green energy technologies, as well as green chemical production.

MDPI’s journal Nanomaterials has been established at the top of the list of highly regarded journals in the field to serve as a platform for innovative results and ideas to stimulate and discuss scientific research on the topics and related fields highlighted below, providing high readership and reliability.

This Special Issue, entitled “Nanocatalysis for Environmental Protection, Energy and Green Chemistry”, aims to host significant advances in the aforementioned areas, including, but not limited to, the design, synthesis, and characterization of nano-catalysts for:

• Greenhouse gas abatement: CO₂ capture, sequestration, and utilization (CO₂ recycling into methane and renewable fuels, power-to-gas technology); N₂O abatement; CH₄;
• Clean energy topics: H₂ production and cleaning of the produced gas stream (CH₄, biogas and hydrocarbon reforming, water–gas shift reaction, preferential CO oxidation reaction, etc.); fuel cells;
• Photo-electro-chemical wastewater and water treatment; photo-electro-chemical CO₂ reduction; electrochemical water splitting;
• Emission control catalysis: De-(NOx, CH₄, VOCs, H₂S, CO, soot);
• Green chemical production;
• Nanobiocatalysts, bionanoassemblies and bionanodevices and their application in biocatalytic processes, drug delivery and biosensing;
• Production of high-value products and biofuels by microbial cultures and microalgae;
• Carbon nanostructures for energy, environmental and biomedical applications.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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.
