Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the unique interplay between the intrinsic properties of green nanomaterials and their potential to address global challenges across diverse applications. By investigating the synergistic effects of nanoscale material properties—such as size, surface area, morphology, optical, magnetic, and crystalline versus amorphous structures—this Special Issue will provide insights into how these characteristics contribute to multifunctionality. A particular focus will be placed on nanomaterials derived from natural, agro-waste, eco-friendly, and sustainable raw materials. Emphasis will also be placed on incorporating green sources, including polyphenols and other bio-based precursors, in synthesizing nanomaterials with applications in antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, photocatalytic, and environmental remediation processes. Additionally, the issue will explore their roles in green energy production, heavy metal remediation, and water purification, with attention to environmental sustainability and resource efficiency. Contributions addressing innovative synthesis methods, advanced characterization techniques, and the integration of these nanomaterials in practical in situ and in vivo applications are strongly encouraged. This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge research in leveraging green nanomaterials as sustainable solutions for environmental, energy, and biomedical challenges.

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.
