Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing concerns over air pollution, the removal of gaseous pollutants has become a critical challenge for environmental protection. Functional materials, particularly nano-, composite, and porous materials, have shown significant potential in this area due to their excellent adsorption capacity, catalytic activity, and selectivity for specific pollutants. Compared to traditional methods, these functional materials offer more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. This Special Issue highlights recent advancements in the application of functional materials for gaseous pollutant removal, including their role in air purification, industrial exhaust treatment, and indoor air quality improvement. Key topics include the development and optimization of functional adsorbents, catalysts, and membrane materials, as well as their effectiveness in reducing energy consumption, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing efficiency in real-world applications. Furthermore, this issue will explore the challenges and future trends in the field, providing insights into the critical role of functional materials in advancing environmental sustainability and 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. Separations 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 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.
