Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to introduce a new Special Issue titled "Development of Nanomaterials for Energy and Environmental Applications", which aims to showcase the latest advancements in nanotechnology that contribute to sustainable energy production and environmental protection.
As global energy demands continue to skyrocket and environmental concerns remain at the forefront of public discourse, the need for innovative solutions in these sectors becomes more pressing. Nanomaterials, with their unique properties at the atomic and molecular scale, offer potential breakthroughs in addressing these challenges. This Special Issue invites original research papers and reviews on the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanomaterials that demonstrate significant progress in energy conversion, storage, and efficiency, as well as pollution mitigation and environmental clean-up.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanostructured materials for solar energy harvesting and photovoltaic systems;
- Advances in nanomaterials for battery technology and energy storage solutions;
- Catalytic nanomaterials for green energy production and emission reduction;
- Nanoparticles for water purification and wastewater treatment technologies;
- Nanotechnology in carbon capture, utilization, and storage;
- Development of sensors based on nanomaterials for environmental monitoring;
- Biodegradable and eco-friendly nanomaterials for environmental applications.
We invite researchers, engineers, and academics to contribute their cutting-edge findings and insights that can help to pave the way for a more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable future.
Dr. Lin Ju

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
