Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials have been rapidly developed in the past few years and are widely used in environmental monitoring and water treatment. Among them, nanoenzymes are a new direction in the development of nanomaterials, which can catalyse enzyme substrates under physiological or extreme conditions and exhibit catalytic efficiencies and enzymatic reaction kinetics similar to those of natural enzymes. Despite the impressive progress in nanoenzymes and other nanomaterials research, many challenges remain to be addressed. In order to further promote the dynamic development of nanomaterials in water treatment, we cordially invite you to submit research articles describing the latest advances in this field as well as insightful reviews.
The sub-topics relevant to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and preparation of nanomaterials for pollutant degradation;
- Ecological risk assessment of nanomaterials;
- Nanomaterial-centred water treatment processes;
- Nanoenzymatic-based pollutant monitoring methods;
- Nanoenzymatic-based pollutant removal.

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. Water 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.
