Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To face the global challenges concerning sustainability issues arising from rapid industry development and population increase, many efforts have been made to develop new silicon based molecular sieves and technologies toward environmental improvement. Methods of producing these porous materials eco-friendly have attracted much attention recently. The exploitation of renewable raw material sources, the recovery of waste/by-products, the development of products synthesis by means of soft chemistry opens up vast opportunities.
Silicon based molecular sieves have also been investigated in energy storage processes and they are also finding promising applications in many sustainable processes including as catalyst.
The purpose of the present Special Issue is to collect state-of-the-art work on silicon based molecular sieves as potential solutions to the sustainability issues but also on their green and efficient production. Review articles or research papers dealing the synthesis, properties and applications are solicited and welcomed.
Prof. Dr. Angélique Simon-Masseron

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.
