Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fossil energy is nonrenewable energy and is now depleting gradually. Furthermore, with the combustion of fossil energy, the pollution of the environment and the production of CO2 cause serious problems. Therefore, it is imperative to develop sustainable green energy to resolve these energy and environmental issues. Hydrogen is regarded as one of the most prospective sustainable energies due to its high energy density and burning without any pollutant generation. Water splitting has been used to generate hydrogen because water is extremely abundant in rivers and seas on Earth. In addition, solar energy is another option for sustainable green energy since solar energy is inexhaustible. A solar cell is a powerful means to utilize solar energy. The light transmission and surface wetting of the solar panel have significant influences on the efficiency of photovoltaic electricity conversion.
This Special Issue focuses on the applications of nanomaterials for sustainable green energy. The topics that will be covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: hydrogen storage, CO2 capture, fossil fuel recovery, water splitting catalysts, solar cells, anti-reflective nanoparticle coating, and superhydrophobic nanoparticle coatings.
Nanomaterials is one of MDPI's esteemed open-access journals and holds an impact factor of 5.3 (2022), as indexed in the SCIE. Furthermore, all submissions will undergo rigorous peer review to ensure the highest quality of published content.
Thanks for your consideration in advance, and we eagerly await the possibility of collaborating with you on this transformative endeavor.

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 2900 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.
