Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing demand for efficient and sustainable environmental remediation technologies has led to significant advancements in catalytic materials for oxidation and reduction processes. This Special Issue focuses on the development, characterization, and application of heterogeneous catalysts, photocatalysts, and electrocatalysts for environmental applications, particularly in wastewater treatment, pollutant degradation, and resource recovery.
We invite researchers from diverse fields to contribute original research articles and reviews addressing the latest developments in advanced catalytic systems for oxidation and reduction reactions, with a focus on green chemistry approaches and enhanced catalytic performance.
Topics of Interest
- Novel catalytic materials: Development and optimization of metal-based, carbon-based, and hybrid catalysts for oxidation and reduction reactions.
- Environmental applications: Removal of persistent organic pollutants, nitrogen species (nitrates, nitrites, ammonia), and heavy metals from water and wastewater.
- Photocatalysis and electrocatalysis: Innovations in semiconductor materials, nanostructured catalysts, and hybrid catalytic processes.
- Mechanistic insights and modeling: Understanding catalytic pathways, kinetic studies, and computational approaches for improving catalyst efficiency.
- Sustainable catalyst design: Use of waste-derived precursors, green synthesis methods, and catalyst reusability studies.
Integration of catalytic processes: Combination of catalytic oxidation/reduction with adsorption, membrane technologies, or biological treatments.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
