Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing global demand for sustainable and renewable resources has led to a growing interest in the utilization of biomass and biowaste for the production of high-value products. Biomass conversion technologies, coupled with the unique properties of nanomaterials, offer promising methods for transforming biomass and biowaste into valuable fuels, chemicals, and materials.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and scientists to showcase their cutting-edge research, advances, and insights in the field of biomass conversion and the valorization of biowaste using nanomaterials.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel nanocatalysts for biomass conversion;
- Nanomaterial-based processes for biowaste valorization;
- Nanotechnology-enabled biofuel production;
- Nanomaterials for biomass-derived chemical and material synthesis;
- The characterization and optimization of nanomaterials in biomass conversion processes;
- The environmental and sustainability aspects of biomass conversion and biowaste valorization;
- Techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of nanomaterial-based biorefineries;
- Advances in nanomaterials for waste-to-energy conversion.

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.
