Nanomaterials in Green Analytical Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Sample preparation and pretreatment procedures increasingly demand the use of powerful and, if possible, universal materials for extraction, microextraction, purification, fractionation, and other separation procedures. In biological, food, environmental, and many other types of samples, the sample preparation step, in addition to being crucial for the overall performance of the analysis, also remains critical because of the production of several wastes. Therefore, the employment of environmentally friendly and low-quantity materials has become popular in numerous analytical methods aiming to target analytes, including metals, biomolecules, metabolites, and organic pollutants. Nanomaterials can further the development of green analytical chemistry in this sense. For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of original research articles or reviews reporting on current advances in analytical method development and applications of nanomaterials of all types, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, ceramic, metallic materials, metal–organic frameworks, magnetic nanostructures, and other nanocomposites, in sample preparation and in all kinds of separation techniques.
