Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The escalating concerns over environmental degradation and the finite nature of conventional energy sources necessitate a paradigm shift towards sustainable alternatives. By focusing on the green synthesis of nanomaterials, we aim to harness eco-friendly methods that minimize environmental impact while maximizing efficiency in energy conversion processes. Sustainability in energy and the environment is a global priority, driving research into innovative solutions for green fabrication of functional nanomaterials. This topic aims to advance environmental sustainability and energy innovation through nanomaterials' green synthesis and application. The scope encompasses multifaceted applications in energy conversion, environmental remediation, optoelectronics, biomedicine, and beyond.
- The research community is invited to contribute findings on the green reutilization of solid waste, microorganisms as catalysts in green synthesis, controlling atmospheric pollutants, utilizing carbon materials to improve air quality, and contributing to overall environmental sustainability.
- We highly encourage exploration into the diverse applications of nanomaterials, spanning energy conversion (electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, photovoltaics), energy storage (batteries), and renewable energy (solar cells) to advance clean energy development.
- Additionally, we welcome the synthesis of nanomaterials, investigating methods and mechanisms to broaden their applications in energy conversion and environmental purification, e.g., examining the role of surface sites and charges in controlling material properties, enhancing performance, and broadening the versatility of nanomaterials.
We are pleased to invite the community to submit manuscripts to be considered for publication in this Special Issue of Nanomaterials, entitled "Green Fabrication of Nanomaterials for Sustainable Energy Conversion". The format of expected articles includes but is not limited to, full papers, communications, reviews, and perspectives. We look forward to your participation.

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.
