Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green catalytic materials are revolutionizing atmospheric pollution control and soil remediation technologies with their high efficiency, low energy consumption and environmental friendliness. In the field of NOx/SO2 catalytic reduction, novel materials achieve highly selective conversion across a wide temperature range by optimizing active sites and support structures, significantly enhancing resistance to sulfur poisoning and water poisoning. In catalytic thermal desorption applications, green catalysts effectively reduce the desorption activation energy of organic pollutants, enabling low-temperature, high-efficiency remediation while substantially cutting energy consumption and secondary emissions. In photocatalysis, breakthroughs in visible-light-responsive materials and heterojunction designs have overcome bottlenecks in solar-energy utilization, demonstrating vast potential in VOC degradation, sterilization and water purification.
In view of the rapid progress in this area, this Special Issue aims at gathering world-leading scientists to report their latest research progress on the aforementioned green catalytic materials. Aspects from catalyst development, process design, system analysis and especially multidisciplinary work will be of interest. Original research papers, review articles and short communications are all welcome to contribute to this Special Issue.
If you would like to submit papers to this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house editor, Ms. Rita Lin (rita.lin@mdpi.com).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
