Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clean and accessible water for all has been defined by the United Nations as a major goal to promote sustainability on the planet and improve the people’s quality of life. However, population growth and global industry processes are having a massive impact on water quality. The presence of organic pollutants in water and wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals, organic dyes, and by-products of industrial processes, is a major issue.
This Special Issue aims to cover the most recent progress and advances in the field of applications of carbon-based nanostructures for heterogeneous photocatalysis applied to water purification. This includes, but is not limited to, the development of synthetic routes and surface modification of carbon nanostructures and the application of these materials in water treatment under visible-light irradiation.

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 2700 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.
