Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water pollution has become an important issue worldwide. Removing toxic pollutants via environmental catalytic processes has become an emerging wastewater treatment technology. Nanostructured materials exhibit high performance in catalytic processes due to their extremely small size and unique physicochemical properties. In recent years, nanomaterial catalysis has been actively researched and applied in the field of environmental protection, with great potential and unique advantages in water pollution control. The design, modification, and reaction mechanism of nanomaterials are important in environmental catalysis.
This Special Issue, “Environmental Catalysis and Nanomaterials for Water Pollution Control”, seeks high-quality research focusing on the latest novel advances in nanomaterials and their applications in environmental catalysis for water treatment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The synthesis and modification of nanocatalytic materials.
- The catalytic performance and selectivity of nanomaterials.
- The theory and mechanism of environmental catalysis.
- The design, analysis, control, optimization, and operation of the environmental catalysis system.
- Nanomaterial catalysis for water pollution control.
- The treatment of emerging environmental contaminants.
- The development and application of nanomaterial catalysis in the industry.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
