Applications and New Trends in Catalysts and Photocatalytic Nanomaterials for Environmental Remediation

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental remediation is associated with the management and removal of pollution in water resources, air quality intervention, waste minimization, and soil decontamination. The need for remedial action is becoming increasingly demanding, while catalysts and photocatalytic nanomaterials have the potential for procuring effective strategies in the management, treatment, and reuse of water, soil decontamination, and waste repurposing.

This Special Issue of Catalysts will cover the recent advancements in catalyst development, photocatalytic nanomaterials, environmental remediation applications, reaction mechanisms, and modeling process for water and soil decontamination. The Guest Editors encourage submissions in the following areas:

• Development of catalysts and photocatalytic nanomaterials
• Disinfection and decontamination via advanced oxidation process (photocatalysis, Ozone, UV, H2O2 and electrochemical based process)
• Life cycle assessment in catalysis applications
• Photocatalysis and advanced oxidation process in air quality intervention
• Photocatalytic based process degradation of emerging contaminants
• Process optimization and and modeling of catalytic systems for environmental remediation
• Waste recycling and repurposing via catalysis

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.
