About This Topic
Nanomaterials with tailored physicochemical and functional properties have emerged as promising materials for addressing current challenges in photocatalysis, energy storage, and environmental protection. Their high surface area, tunable electronic and optical properties, and diverse chemical functionalities enable the development of advanced materials for sustainable energy and environmental technologies. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and application of nanomaterials for photocatalytic processes, energy storage, and environmental applications. Contributions addressing metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles, semiconductor nanomaterials, magnetic and plasmonic nanostructures, nanocomposites, and other functional nanomaterials are particularly welcome. Sustainable and green synthesis strategies, structure–property relationships, catalytic mechanisms, and the optimization of material performance are also encouraged. Topics may include photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, environmental remediation, water treatment, CO₂ conversion, hydrogen-related applications, batteries, supercapacitors, and other emerging energy and environmental technologies. This Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for innovative nanomaterial-based strategies contributing to more efficient, sustainable, and environmentally responsible technologies.
