Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Nanocatalysts for Contaminant Degradation” aims to explore the latest advancements and innovative applications of nanocatalysts in the field of environmental remediation. Nanocatalysts, due to their unique properties such as a high surface area, enhanced reactivity, and tunable composition, have emerged as powerful tools for the degradation of various contaminants, including organic pollutants, heavy metals, and other hazardous substances. This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics, including the synthesis and characterization of nanocatalysts, their mechanisms of action in contaminant degradation, and real-world applications in water and soil treatment. Through this collection of high-quality research articles, we hope to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the art in nanocatalyst-based contaminant degradation and inspire further research in this promising area.

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.
