Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Naturally abundant biomass is a green and alternative nanomaterial source with many desired properties, which has become a hot research area. Because of their inherent hierarchical pores and low cost, biomass-derived nanomaterials are important for energy and environmental applications. Therefore, biomass-derived nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications would be attractive for researchers from various fields including materials, energies, chemistry, bioengineering, environmental engineering, and so on.

This Special Issue will highlight the recent progress and fundamental aspects from the synthesis to the applications of biomass-derived nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications. Original research, mini-reviews, and review articles are all welcome in this research topic. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for capacitors;
  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for fuel cells;
  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for batteries;
  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for EMI shielding;
  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for microwave absorption;
  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for sensors;
  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for water treatment;
  • Biomass-derived nanomaterials for air filtration.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.

In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by a hydrothermal method with varying the reaction times, material ratios and reaction temperatures. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was shown that the material ratio significantly affected the structure and morphology of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles, and then the uneven nano-octahedral structure, uniform nano-octahedral structure, nano-tubular structure, and nano-sheet structure could be obtained successively. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles as mordant were used for the dyeing of silk fabrics with different natural dyes (tea polyphenols and hematoxylin). Moreover, they could improve the dyeing properties and fastness (wash and light) on silk fabrics to a certain extent. Full article

Food packaging nowadays is not only essential to preserve food from being contaminated and damaged, but also to comply with science develop and technology advances. New functional packaging materials with degradable features will become a hot spot in the future. By far, plastic is the most common packaging material, but plastic waste has caused immeasurable damage to the environment. Cellulose known as a kind of material with large output, wide range sources, and biodegradable features has gotten more and more attention. Cellulose-based materials possess better degradability compared with traditional packaging materials. With such advantages above, cellulose was gradually introduced into packaging field. It is vital to make packaging materials achieve protection, storage, transportation, market, and other functions in the circulation process. In addition, it satisfied the practical value such as convenient sale and environmental protection, reduced cost and maximized sales profit. This review introduces the cellulose resource and its application in composite packaging materials, antibacterial active packaging materials, and intelligent packaging materials. Subsequently, sustainable packaging and its improvement for packaging applications were introduced. Finally, the future challenges and possible solution were provided for future development of cellulose-based composite packaging materials. Full article
