Advanced Nanomaterials for Adsorption Purposes

Dear Colleagues,

The accumulation of the molecular species at the surface rather than in the bulk of the solid or liquid is termed adsorption. Through human activities and industrial production arise serious environment issues. Adsorption processes have been well studied in the environmental and sustainable sciences, including wastewater treatment, soil remediation, air pollution control, noise elimination and electromagnetic interference elimination, etc.

During the past few years, there has been a tremendous amount of research on the use of nanomaterials for adsorption processes thanks to their tunable synthesis routes, heterogeneous structures, and outstanding properties. Activated  carbon,  carbon  nanofibers, carbon  nanotubes, graphene, zeolites,  metal–organic frameworks,  and zeolitic  imidazolate  frameworks have been reported as advanced candidates for those purposes.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will aim to cover the most recent advances in nanomaterials for adsorption processes, concerning not only their synthesis and characterization, but especially their properties and functions. The format of welcomed articles includes full papers, communications, and reviews.

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.
