Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Catalysts journal, this Special Issue marks the sustained growth and evolving impact of the “Environmental Catalysis” included in this publication.
The Special Issue will collect both original research articles and reviews on various aspects of environmental catalysis for pollution control from stationary and mobile sources. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Catalytic removal of air and water pollutants (NOx, VOCs, SOx, organic compounds, CO2, CH4, etc.);
- Catalytic elimination of solid-phase pollutants (soil pollutants, etc.);
- Design of innovative catalytic materials for environmental catalysis;
- Model pollutants and real mixtures of pollutants for catalytic removal;
- Recent catalytic processes (photo-catalysis, plasma-catalysis, electro-catalysis, etc.) applied to environmental protection;
- Mechanisms and kinetics to optimize the reactor design and the catalytic process.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
