Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials/nanoparticles have already gained a lot of attention for their countless potential applications. They were intensively investigated as diagnostics in biomedicine and environmental technologies, among many others. Researchers’ interest in them is driven by their chemical and structural diversity, low cost, non-toxicity, and high flexibility of preparation methods, enabling their synthesis with high yield, purity, and desirable physicochemical features. These, coupled with tunable surface properties, make them an excellent platform for a broad range of (photo)catalytic, biological, and biomedical applications.
This Special Issue welcomes original contributions based on experimental and/or computational techniques, with the aim of covering the most recent research progress in nanotechnology aspects regarding the application of novel materials (nanoparticles, composites, hybrids, etc.) in environmental catalysis, including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, (photo)Fenton, and other processes, as well as their application within diagnostics as biosensors.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Materials 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 2600 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.
