Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, water pollution has become a serious environmental problem; therefore, it is vital to develop an inexpensive, sensitive, and rapid method to determine and clean up trace levels of pollutants from water. Among the various techniques used for wastewater treatment, adsorption is one of the promising treatment options for pollutant removal due to its efficiency, operational simplicity, and inexpensiveness. Another technique is photocatalysis, which has a promising future for the treatment of a variety of wastes due to its utilization of visible light to photo-degrade organic and inorganic contaminants. Nanomaterials, due to their unique properties, such as their large specific surface area, high reactivity, and selectivity, have become new materials for the removal of different pollutants from wastewaters.
This Special Issue will focus on the synthesis and characterization of new types of nanomaterials and their applications as adsorbents or photocatalysts for pollutant removal from wastewater. In this Special Issue, we invite contributions of original research articles (full papers and communications), as well as review articles.

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.
