Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pollutants in water, air, and soil from various sources such as industrial activities, transportation, and domestic waste pose severe threats to the environment and human health. Catalytic technology and nanocatalytic materials have emerged as promising tools for the purification and remediation of these pollutants. In this context, novel nanocatalysts with unique physicochemical properties and outstanding environmental purification performances are of great significance.
This Special Issue will focus on the current development prospects of novel nanocatalysts that show great potential in the purification and remediation of pollutants in water, air, and soil. We welcome contributions that cover the synthesis, optimization, and mechanisms of novel nanocatalysts (including but not limited to precious metals, metal/alloys, metal oxides, non-metallic materials, etc.) and their applications in the removal of pollutants via various catalytic methods such as thermal catalysis, photo-catalysis, electro-catalysis, plasma catalysis, and combined technologies.
We invite researchers to submit original articles, systematic reviews, short communications, and other types of papers related to this topic. All manuscripts will undergo the standard journal peer-review process, and those accepted for publication will appear in this Special Issue titled “Current Development Prospects of Novel Nanocatalysts”. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Fengyu Gao

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
