Summary
Chalcogenide nanomaterials, including metal sulfides, selenides, tellurides, and their heterostructures, have attracted significant attention due to their outstanding optical, electrical, catalytic, and semiconducting properties, making them promising candidates for sustainable environmental remediation and advanced sensor development. This issue will focus on design, synthesis, characterization, and application of chalcogenide nanomaterials in environmental and sensing technologies.
This special Issue will showcase recent developments in the synthesis and functionalization of chalcogenide nanomaterials, their application in photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, wastewater treatment, removal of heavy metals, and environmental monitoring; and their application in electrochemical, gas, biosensing, and optical sensing technology. Structure–property relationships, theoretical modelling, nanocomposites, device fabrication, performance optimisation, scalability and practical implementation are areas of particular interest for the contributions. This Special Issue will attract the leading researchers from academia, research institutions and industry, aiming to foster interdisciplinary cooperation and exchange of innovative ideas to create a solution to the challenges faced by environment and sensing. It is hoped that it will be useful to scientists and engineers in nanomaterials research, materials science, environmental engineering, analytical chemistry and sensor technologies, as well as to the development of sustainable, high performance materials for future environmental and sensing applications.
