Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid industrialization and urbanization over the past few decades have led to severe environmental pollution, posing significant threats to human health and ecosystems. Catalysis has emerged as a key technology to address these challenges. Due to their exceptional physical and chemical properties, nanomaterials have revolutionized the field of catalysis. The advantage of nanotechnology has enabled the precise design of nanomaterials, allowing for the development of highly efficient catalysts capable of degrading pollutants, converting harmful substances into less toxic forms, and more.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for the latest advancements in the application of nanomaterials in catalysis for pollution control. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Development and characterization of nanocatalysts;
- Studies on catalytic mechanisms;
- Applications in pollution control;
- Environmental impact and safety;
- Innovative methods and technologies.
Research areas include photocatalysis with nanomaterials, electrocatalysis, PMS activation, Fenton technology, low-temperature catalysis, thermocatalysis, and other techniques.
For this Special Issue, we are soliciting original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that contribute to the application of nanomaterials in catalysis for pollution control.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
