Special Issue on
Nanomaterials for Energy and Environmental
Applications
CALL FOR PAPERS
Nanomaterials and their manufacturing technologies have been seamlessly integrated into many applications. For example, nanomaterials find application in aviation and space, chemical industry, optics, solar hydrogen, fuel cell, batteries, sensors,
power generation, aeronautic industry, building/construction industry, automotive
engineering, consumer electronics, thermoelectric devices, pharmaceuticals, and
cosmetic industry. Clean energy and environmental applications often demand the
development of novel nanomaterials that can provide shortest reaction pathways
for the enhancement of reaction kinetics. Understanding the physicochemical,
structural, microstructural, and surface properties of nanomaterials is vital for
achieving the required efficiency, cycle life, and sustainability in various technological applications. Nanomaterials can be synthesized in a number of shapes, each
with unique properties. These include nanotubes, nanofibers/nanowires, nanocones,
nanorods, nanoislands, nanoparticles, nanospheres, and nanoshells. The proposed
special issue is timely in bringing out the salient research paradigms of nanomaterials
and their potential impacts on clean energy generation, storage, utilization, waste
heat recovery, and environmental detoxification and disinfection for a sustainable
life on our fragile planet Earth.
