Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Catalytic Materials from Wastes for Environmental Pollution Control”, focuses on recent progress in the design, synthesis, and application of waste-derived catalysts for environmental remediation and sustainable technologies. In the context of green chemistry and the circular economy, converting waste into catalytic materials offers a promising pathway to reduce resource consumption and mitigate pollution.
We welcome contributions addressing both fundamental and applied aspects of waste-derived catalysts for air, water, and soil pollution control, as well as their integration into sustainable energy systems.
This Special Issue will provide a platform for innovative research linking waste valorization and catalytic science, fostering sustainable solutions to pressing environmental challenges.

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.
