inherited robustness. Electrochemically active biofims (EABs) generated by electrochemically active microorganisms (EAMs) have potential applications in bioenergy production, green chemical synthesis, bioremediation, bio-corrosion mitigation,
and biosensor development. EABs have attracted considerable attention in bioelectrochemical systems, such as microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and microbial electrolysis cells, where they act as living bio-anode or bio-cathode catalysts. EABs are an anode material in MFCs that generate an excess of electrons and protons by biologically oxidizing substrates, such as sodium acetate or organic waste, and the flow of these electrons produces signifiant amounts of electricity. Recently, it was found
that EABs can be used as a biogenic-reducing tool to synthesize metal nanoparticles and metal–metal oxide nanocomposites. The EAB-mediated synthesis of metal nanoparticles and metal–metal oxide nanocomposites is expected to provide a new
avenue for the greener synthesis of nanomaterials with high effiiency than other synthetic procedures. It was also found that EABs could be effectively used as a tool to provide electrons and protons by biologically decomposing acetate which is later
used in the presence of a suitable catalyst for the bio-hydrogen production. These nanoparticles as well as nanocomposites syntheses and bio-hydrogen production takes place in water at 30 °C and does not involve any energy input which make
these approaches highly effiient. These fidings show that EAB is a fascinating biogenic tool for MFCs, nanomaterials synthesis, bioremediation, and bio-hydrogen production.

Photocatalysis is a chemical reaction that takes place in presence of a photocatalyst and a suitable light. In other words, it is a reaction that uses light to generate a pair of excited electron and positive hole to induce redox reactions, as the first step, with both positive and negative Gibbs-energy change.
A photocatalyst is a material that harvests light to bring it to higher energy level and provides such energy to a reacting substance to make a chemical reaction to take place. Multi-anion photocatalysts contain two or more anion-forming elements and exhibit unprecedented photocatalytic, optoelectronic and physicochemical properties compared with homo-anion counterparts. For example, N,S co-doped TiO2 has been reported for enhanced visible light induced photocatalytic activities for energy and environment related applications.
Photocatalysis promises a solution to challenges associated with the intermittent nature of sunlight that is considered as renewable and ultimate energy source to power and energy related activities on the Earth. Other examples are water splitting, hydrogen production, water treatment and disinfection, removal of pollutants from contaminated water and air, photocatalytic tiles, photocatalytic paints, self-cleaning window panels based on photoactive materials and many more. Hence, there is a need to understand the fundamental concepts of photocatalysis in a simple way of using multi-anion photocatalysts.
This research topic will provide a complete overview to photocatalysis combining the theoretical and fundamental concepts of photocatalysis from synthesis of novel photocatalysts, reaction engineering, and exploring several important applications of photocatalysis. Most importantly, this research topic will mainly focus on multi-anion photocatalysts for environmental remediation, energy production, conversion etc. The objectives include: 1. All the latest information about multi-anion photocatalyst materials will be compiled and readers will be benefited. 2. Fundamental and advanced understanding of multi-anion photocatalysts materials will be collected. 3. Use of multi-anion photocatalyst materials in energy conversion and environmental remediation will be focused.
This research topic will provide vast and extensive information about the multi-anion compounds as novel photocatalysts. All the latest developments in this field will be invited, evaluated and compiled. This research topic will be a valuable collection that will stimulate the interest of target audience as researchers and students in designing advanced nanostructured materials for wastewater treatment, energy production and conversion, environmental remediation etc. using multi-anion photocatalysts.

Invitation to submit outstanding review articles and research articles to Special Issue "Role of Nanotechnology/Nanomaterials in Automotive Industry" by Applied Nanoscience, IF 3.67, published by Springer.
The automobile sector is exploring nanotech as well to build cars that are shinier, safer, and more energy efficient. Apart from improving overall efficiency and performance, nanotechnology in the automobile sector offers substantial novelty and ease of use. Nano-Based Coatings for automobiles helps in enhancing the protection and scratch resistance of automotive bodies. A coating of aluminium nanomaterials on the engines helps in the reduction of pollutants emissions from the automobiles. Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP), a Nano-composite material, is used in airplanes to enhance its safety and security during operation. It also helps in improving the thermal as well as electrical conductivity of the aircraft. In the shipping industry it can be used as corrosion resistant coatings, biofouling and structural health monitoring agents. Similarly nanotech automobile batteries, nano-particulate air filters, ultrathin anti-glare windows and mirrors, wear-resistant tires, lighter but stronger car bodies and improved miniaturized electronic systems are some of the other major applications of Nanotechnology. So, the applications of nanotechnology in the auto sector are innumerable. Energy-harvesting bodywork, self-healing paint, shape-shifting skin, and improved fuel cell performance of future electric and hydrogen-powered cars are all the expected interesting future advances with nano technology.
The use of nanomaterials has not only increased the concentration of nanomaterials but also broadened the range of nanomaterials in the natural environment. Though it helps in reduction of environmental impact from hydrogen and fuel cell-powered cars However, during the manufacturing and use of nanotechnology, there are high chances of nanomaterial exposure for workers and the environment. Nanomaterials can adversely affect the immune system, the respiratory system, brain, DNA and even more. The biggest challenge is the assessment of hazards of nanotechnology to humans, animals and the natural environment. Even though nanotechnology in the automotive industry manifests extremely attractive characteristics for safer and sustainable use, the effects of most nanomaterials are still unknown, a systematic database of toxic effects and occupational exposure limit (OEL) for nanomaterials is not available. Recently, several concerns have arisen regarding the safety of nanotechnology applications in the real world. Much research has been going on to find out environment friendly nanomaterials and the consequences of different nanomaterials on the natural environment.
This Special Issue in “Role of Nanotechnology/nanomaterials in Automotive industry” aims at collecting a compilation of high-quality papers able to describe the scientific and technical advances in this field also in developing environmentally friendly nanomaterial technologies for a clean environment. The scope of the special issue covers, but is not limited to:
