Call for Papers: Magnetic Nanohybrids for Environmental Applications

As environmental pollution presents new challenges, sustainable materials are needed to meet those challenges through sensing and remediation. Magnetic-based nanohybrids have gained interest due to their unique structural, smart functional, and tailored physicochemical characteristics and their potential to measure and remediate trace contaminants that may be otherwise challenging using existing alternatives.

This Virtual Special Issue from ACS Omega will showcase studies about magnetic nanohybrids' design, synthesis, characterization, and environmental applications.

Emphasis will be given to:

• The fundamental scientific advances connecting the material synthesis and characterization to material performance
• Novel applications of magnetic nanohybrids as alternatives to existing technologies (e.g., direct comparisons considering technical, economic, and/or sustainability metrics)
• Advanced demonstrations in challenging, representative environments (e.g., practical application, robustness, scalability)

Authors are encouraged to describe how submissions align with emphasis area(s) in cover letters.

We invite Articles, Mini-Reviews, Reviews, or Perspectives on all topics relating to nanohybrids, including (but not limited to):

• Environmental remediation
• Nano-biosensing
• Nano-catalytic degradation
• Biotransformation

We welcome submissions for this Virtual Special Issue through December 10, 2023. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed to ensure they fit the scope and conform to the high-quality scientific standards of ACS Omega before acceptance.

If your paper is accepted, your work will be highlighted as a significant contribution to this growing field of exploration. As ACS Omega is a fully open-access journal, your paper will be available to anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world.

Accepted publications will go online as soon as possible after acceptance and be published in the next available issue. In the Fall of 2023, the publications on this topic will be gathered into a virtual special issue on a dedicated webpage and be promoted as a collection.

If you have any general questions regarding submission to this Virtual Special Issue, please contact Dr. Julie Korak.
