Novel and Commercially Applicable Environmental Catalysts and Photocatalysts

Dear Colleagues,

One of the relevant challenges for policy makers, society, and the scientific community is environmental preservation due to the negative impacts of fossil fuels and the rising pollution of air, soil, and water. In this sense, environmental catalysis plays a crucial role in sustainable development via the design of novel catalytic materials and technologies. Additionally, another interesting approach is the redesign of commercial catalysts to improve their performance and their use in alternative environmental applications. For this reason, this Special Issue will focus on studies where novel or commercial heterogeneous catalysts are used in relevant topics in environmental catalysis such as pollutant abatement, CO₂ reduction, and H₂ production, using novel and commercial catalysts or photocatalysts. Studies concerning synthesis methods, material characterization, and reaction mechanisms focusing on inorganic solids and carbon materials are also welcome.

We would like to encourage the participation of researchers interested in the subject of this Special Issue, “Novel and Commercially Applicable Environmental Catalysts and Photocatalysts”, in the form of research papers, communications, letters, and review articles to share their knowledge and results. We look forward to your participation in this Special Issue of Catalysts.

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.
