Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental issues have become a topic of concern to the world. How to reduce pollution, protect ecological balance, and solve environmental problems has attracted great attention. In current age, with the acceleration of industrialization, numerous wastewater and exhaust gas are discharged into the environment, which contain a large amount of toxic organic pollutants, posing a great threat to human health.
Catalytic technology plays an important role for purification of environmental pollutants. In general, catalytic technologies for purification of environmental pollutants include photocatalytic technique, electrocatalytic technique and other catalytic techniques. This Special Issue is collecting research papers aimed at catalytic purification of environmental pollutants: wastewater degradation by novel catalysts or composite catalysts, VOCs and other air pollutants degradation by novel catalysts or composite catalysts, novel catalysts for energy conversion to indirectly reduce environmental pressure; pollution control, the environmental impact of catalytic technologies, and advanced environmental materials. Impacts of hazardous catalysts or materials on environmental quality are also welcome. Papers adsorption of heavy metal ions by novel materials for control water body quality also fall within the scope of this Special Issue. Contributions describing novel and significant knowledge, scientific results, and advanced applications in the field of environmental sciences and technology are also welcome. This Special Issue provides an integrated view of the trends in solving the problems associated with the achievement of sustainability in catalytic environmental technology.
The Special Issue will publish experimental and review papers, as well as short communications, discussing recent novel catalytic materials for purification of environmental pollutants. The topics of the papers to be submitted to this Special Issue are defined by the keywords presented below.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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.
