Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adsorption and catalysis technologies play a crucial role in water treatment, with applications in water pollution control, wastewater treatment, hydrogen production, advanced oxidation processes, electrosorption, electrocoagulation, and more. In recent years, new adsorption materials, catalysts, and treatment technologies have emerged in response to the growing demands for water treatment, driving rapid advancements in this field. However, enhancing the efficiency and stability of these technologies, optimizing reaction mechanisms, and gaining a deeper understanding of active reaction sites remain key challenges that need to be addressed.
This Special Issue aims to compile the latest research on adsorption and catalysis application in water treatment, covering various aspects, including synthesis strategies, reaction mechanisms, and technical applications. We invite experts and scholars to contribute their research findings on the wide-ranging applications of adsorption and catalysis in water treatment and share innovative technologies and methodologies, fostering further development and applications in this field.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis strategies for water treatment;
- Adsorption processes and their applications in water pollution control;
- Catalysts in water treatment;
- Advanced oxidation processes;
- Electrosorption and electrocoagulation;
- Hydrogen production and energy conversion;
- Membrane technologies for water treatment;
- Wastewater treatment and resource recovery;
- Reaction mechanisms and catalytic active sites;
- Development of novel adsorbents and 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 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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
