Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, the quantity and types of contaminants entering water bodies have sharply increased, leading to a serious pollution of water resources. Contaminants with low biodegradability and low molecular weight can hardly be removed using traditional treatment approaches, but are vulnerable to advanced catalytic materials and methods. Recently, novel catalysts that are more environmentally friendly, and have higher catalytical efficiencies, and broader application prospects have been synthesized. Further research toward a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of catalytical processes should be conducted.
Submissions to this Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Catalytic Materials and Processes for Water/Wastewater Treatment”, are welcome in the form of original research papers or short reviews that reflect the state of the art and outlooks in this field. This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, the following aspects: 1) designing novel synthetic methods and catalytic materials for water/wastewater treatment; 2) degrading contaminants of emerging concern by catalytic processes, including photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, sonocatalytic, etc.; 3) application of catalysts in advanced oxidation/reduction technologies; 4) theoretical modeling of catalysis processes; and 5) toxicity studies on catalysts.

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. Catalysts 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 2700 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.
