Advanced Functional Materials Inspired for Environmental Remediation

The search for materials with optical, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties has substantial interest in interdisciplinary fields of science encompassing chemistry, physics, and materials. Semiconductors have several practical applications. It is a crucial material for environmental applications including the removal of organic pollutants, quantitative analysis for the detection of pollutants, and photocatalytic degradation. It is known that semiconductor nanostructures with different morphology and/or symmetry could be advantageous for various photocatalytic reactions. In the optical and magnetic field, both pure and doped oxides are utilized in various forms such as coatings and antimicrobial materials.

Discover Materials invites you to submit papers, full-length, review articles, or short communications to a Topical Collection on Advanced Functional materials inspired for environmental remediation. This Topical Collection encompasses all the areas of functional materials including magnetic materials, diluted magnetic semiconductors, clays, and others targeted for environmental remediation, including but not limited to topics about the properties, characterization, green synthesis, photocatalysis, and adsorption. Topics like materials applied to humans, biological science, and the environment are welcome. Magnetic materials, composites, thin films, and studies about Core@shell nanoparticles applied to the degradation/adsorption/ discoloration of organic pollutants are the focus of the present issue. We are interested and invite the community to submit original research articles that fall into some of these topics.
