Remediation Materials for Environmental Purity
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maintaining environmental purity has become a global priority as contamination pressures continue to rise across water, soil, and air systems. The development of advanced remediation materials, capable of selectively capturing, degrading, or transforming diverse pollutants, plays a central role in addressing these challenges. Recent advances in carbon-based adsorbents and catalysts, membrane and polymer composites, and sustainably derived functional materials are opening new possibilities for more efficient and selective remediation processes.
This Topic, entitled “Remediation Materials for Environmental Purity,” aims to highlight both fundamental advances and practical applications in the design, synthesis, modification, and performance evaluation of emerging remediation materials. Submissions covering fundamental insights, material development, and applied remediation technologies are welcome, particularly both review and original research papers. The scope of this topic includes studies on the following:
- Carbon-based adsorbents, catalysts, and hybrid materials;
- Polymeric, ceramic, and composite membranes for separation and purification;
- Functionalized materials for capture and degradation of emerging contaminants;
- Materials derived from sustainable or waste-based precursors;
- Structure–property–performance relationships in remediation systems;
- Integrated adsorption–catalysis processes;
- Novel approaches for water, soil, and air decontamination;
- Advanced characterization and modeling of remediation materials;
New technological trends in sustainable environmental purification.
