Photocatalytic Nanomaterials for Pollutant Remediation
This special issue belongs to the section "Energy and Catalysis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The “Photocatalytic Nanomaterials for Pollutant Remediation” Special Issue aims to collect articles regarding the preparation of new photocatalysts as powders or thin films (bare and loaded semiconductors or materials obtained by coupling different semiconductors) for the abatement of pollutants present both in gas-phase and in aqueous solutions. Research concerning the modelling and development of new photoreactors, including solar photoreactors, for pollutants remediation will be also considered for publication. Articles concerning the degradation of emergent micro- or nano-pollutants, like drugs or PFAS, will be particularly welcome; on the contrary, articles reporting the degradation of dyes, even for testing new materials, will be not considered.

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-anonymized 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.
