Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the present stage of science and technology, the development of novel materials and exploration of their different applications has become extremely important. Not only that, apart from conventional routes of synthesis, emphasis is being given to the development of materials from non-conventional sources that includes synthesis from the biological precursor, industrial waste, and others.
Materials that are being developed in those ways should have particular applications in specific fields where it shows their maximum efficiency. In this process of material synthesis, in either conventional or environmentally friendly ways, few materials are coming out with applicability in diverse fields and thus gain the central attraction of material scientists. Thus very naturally they are termed as emerging material
Apart from the above, research and development related to materials science stands on the pillar of sustainability. In the other words, it means that materials developed with efficiency in a particular field need to sustain their performance over a considerable period of time and thus the long-cycle stability of the materials is needed to be checked.
Keeping this in mind this Special Issue entitled “Emerging Sustainable Materials and Technology” aims to provide the researchers working in the field of materials science and technology a unique platform for publishing their recent original work, or review articles or mini-reviews (experimental, theoretical/simulation-based or hybrid) basic and applied aspects of materials and technologies for sustainable development of systems belonging to nano-, micro-, meso-, and macro-scale
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Development of novel nanostructures through a green synthesis route
- Development of materials for energy storage
- Emerging materials for efficient sustainable energy and environment devices
- Carbon-based nanostructures for the development of sustainable devices
- Lifecycle analyses of sustainable technologies
- Development of Sustainable optoelectronic devices
- Waste management for the development of emerging materials
- Bio-medical application of emerging and sustainable materials
- Simulation studies in the development, characterization and application of emerging materials
- Sustainable fuel generation through the process of catalysis using emerging materials
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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.
