This new Virtual Special Issue in ACS ES&T Water strives to capture the latest research advances in 3D printing technologies and the development of novel materials and structures for use across a broad array of environmental and water applications. Submit by November 30, 2023.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a fabrication method that has recently received massive attention worldwide. Compared with traditional manufacturing technologies, 3D printing is a convenient and efficient method for preparing complex 3D structures.
Owing to its cost-effectiveness, expeditious nature, and favorable control of the target structures, 3D printing is extensively employed in environmental and water applications, including wastewater treatment, water splitting, environmental determination, oil-water separation, and desalination.
This Virtual Special Issue in ACS ES&T Water seeks high-quality research or review articles in, but not limited to, the following areas:
- 3D printed materials for the adsorption of contaminants in wastewater
- 3D printed materials for the catalytic degradation of pollutants
- 3D printed materials for water splitting
- 3D printed materials and devices for the determination of heavy metals
- 3D printed membranes for oil-water separation and desalination
- Current challenges and prospects of 3D printing in environmental and water applications
- Applications of AI and Machine Learning in 3D printed materials for environmental and water applications
