Three-dimensional (3D) materials usually have unique pore characteristics, including high specific surface area, abundant accessible active sites, etc., and the spatial structure can also be precisely controlled. Therefore, 3D materials show great potential applications in the advanced treatment of toxic pollutants through adsorption, catalysis (Metal Organic Frameworks, 3D electrode, 3D nanofiber, 3D graphene, etc.) and even biological process (Bio-carries, 3D printing microbes, etc.). The design and application of 3D materials will promote the development of new technologies in wastewater treatment.
This research topic focuses on the development and application of 3D materials (MOF, 3D nanowire array/nanofiber/electrode/graphene/biomaterial…) and technologies (advanced oxidation process, electrochemical, photocatalysis, filtration, adsorption, bioprocess…) as wastewater remediation strategies for the removal of toxic pollutants. In addition, contributions on 3D sensors and innovative methods for both the detection and the monitoring of water contaminants (trace elements, emerging pollutants: pharmaceuticals, herbicides, pesticides…) will be also appreciated. We believe that the recent contributions of this research topic in the field of environmental pollution will be beneficial for the conservation of the water resource and numerous ecosystems.
This Research Topic aims to report 3D materials applied in toxic water or wastewater pollution treatment, and practical application evaluation is highly expected. Original research articles and reviews with innovative materials are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
· 3D functional materials design for toxic pollutants treatment;
· Energy and resources recovery from toxic pollutants using 3D materials;
· 3D materials for enhancing advanced oxidation processes;
· New biological processes using 3D materials as biocarriers or electron shuttle
