Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A new advancement for water treatment is represented by using nanomaterials, which, if appropriately controlled and managed in their application, constitute an efficient means to decontaminate environmental matrices containing organic or inorganic contaminants. These materials make it possible to satisfy the principles of the circular economy, with the possibility of recovering and therefore reusing them, due to their high effectiveness in decontamination.
In fact, nanomaterials, given their nanometric scale, have numerous properties that make them superior to other commercial materials more widely used until now, such as a high surface/volume ratio, a greater adsorption capacity, catalytic activity, high reactivity, and a larger number of active sites available for interactions with different chemical species.
Therefore, this Special Issue of Water titled “Water Treatment Using Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology” intends to draw attention to and assess recent advances in the production process and application of selected nanomaterials, as well as the use of nanotechnology, for water treatment. Furthermore, this Special Issue aims to contribute to this topical area of research that will foster a more resilient and safer environment.
This Special Issue will be open for submissions from 20 November 2024. Accepted papers will be published rapidly and will be listed together on the Special Issue website.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
