Catalysts (ISSN: 2073-4344) has launched the Section “Environmental Catalysis”, which aims to cover promising recent research in the field of the development of innovative catalytic materials from their syntheses (powdered or structured catalysts) to their application in model pollutants and in real mixtures of pollutants’ removal from (outdoor and indoor) air, water, and wastewater. Special attention is given to their durability and reusability and to by-products’ formation in the catalytic process.

As Catalysts is an open-access publication, you have free and unlimited access to the full text of all the articles published in our journal. We invite you to read the most highly cited papers published in 2021 listed below:
