Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clean water has become an increasingly precious resource. Most manufacturing and living activities consume large volumes of water and generate large volumes of polluted wastewater. Providing sufficiently safe and clean water is critical for peoples’ daily life and society’s development. Therefore, various technologies have been developed for water treatment aiming at sustainable development. The use of nanomaterials and nanotechnology holds the promise of producing potable water and treating polluted wastewater.
The large surface areas and tunable surface chemistry allow the used nanomaterials to increase and control the solid–water interface, directly removing or destroying the undesired species such as salts and contaminants. Additionally, nanomaterials provide ideal tools for the development of novel water treatment processes and devices.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will attempt to cover a wide range of water treatment where nanomaterials and nanotechnology play critical roles. The topics include, but are not limited to, nanomaterials, their composites, nanofabrication, process and device design, in the forms of communications, reviews, and regular research papers.

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 2900 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.
