Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution and energy shortages have been regarded as two major challenges because of the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization. Considering these challenges, providing a green environment and green energy for human beings are pivotal potential solutions for future sustainable development. Nanostructured catalysts (photocatalysts, thermal catalysts, and electrocatalysts) with unique physiochemical properties could offer numerous opportunities to solve these issues concerning environmental and energetic sustainability.
The recent rapid development in the area of environmental and energy catalysis for sustainability has inspired us to launch this Special Issue. We invite emerging scientists to contribute original research articles that could improve our understanding of the key scientific and technological problems of nanostructured catalysts applied to sustainability issues. Original articles describing catalytic applications for environmental remediation (air pollution control, wastewater treatment, and disinfection) and for green energy (hydrogen production and biomass conversion) will be considered for publication.

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. Clean Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
