Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Catalysts is launching a new Special Issue entitled “Advanced Functional Materials for Environmental Catalysis”. Over the past few decades, advanced functional materials, including metal, metallic oxides, conducting polymers, and carbon nanomaterials, have aroused tremendous interest in energy conversion and storage, environmental remediation, and catalytic fields because of their striking properties. Though the use of various functional materials in energy and environmental fields has been reported, there are still many challenges that need to be taken into account to develop advanced functional materials with high sensitivity, efficiency, and selectivity. The key consideration when designing an efficient functional material is sustainability.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to submit your manuscript to the Special Issue “Advanced Functional Materials for Environmental Catalysis” to share research on fundamental and application of environmental catalysis related to the innovative methodologies, characterization, and mechanism studies. The topics covered in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Advanced oxidation processes, (e.g., photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, electro-Fenton and Persulfate/peroxymonosulfate oxidation);
- Catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants;
- Advanced water and wastewater treatment processes;
- Nanotechnology;
- Batteries and supercapacitors;
- Hydrogen generation and storage;
- Catalysis for recycling/reuse (e.g., microbial fuel cell techniques).
We welcome authors to submit original contributions in the form of research articles, perspective articles, review articles, and short communications to our Special Issue.

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.
