Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution, like water and air pollution, is a wide-spreading issue impacting all living beings. Different technologies are being suggested to mitigate the impact of the anthropogenic activities, like electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and enzymatic catalysis. These technologies can be used to remove efficiently the contaminants from water and air sources as a result of the ongoing progress in nanotechnology in the development of organic-inorganic nano-structured hybrid catalysts. In the last years a huge advancement has been observed in the design of hybrid materials with different surface morphologies (like shape, size, and porosity) and enhanced metal-metal, metal-organic, and metal-support interactions for catalytic applications. The fine-tuning of the physicochemical properties impacts the overall performance (activity, selectivity, and stability) of the catalyst and intrinsically in its’ cost-efficiency, enhancing the possibility to apply these three technologies in the large-scale processes.
This Special Issue welcomes papers presenting the development of advanced synthesis approaches, new enzymatic, electro- and photo- catalysts, preferentially eco-friendly and cost-efficient, and fundamental understanding of structure-activity relationships and catalyst-pollutant interactions for the catalytic removal of environmental pollutants.

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.
