Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research and innovations in the catalytic properties of thin film materials for environmental applications. Recent advancements have highlighted the potential of thin films to address critical environmental challenges, including pollution reduction and sustainable chemical processes. This issue explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of various thin film materials that enhance catalytic efficiency and stability while being economically and environmentally viable.
Contributions are invited on topics including but not limited to the development of novel thin film catalysts, mechanistic insights into catalytic processes facilitated by thin films, applications of thin films in treating air, water, and soil pollutants, and the integration of thin film catalysts in industrial processes. Studies addressing such technologies' scalability, lifecycle analysis, and environmental impact assessments are particularly welcomed.
Through rigorous research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies, this Special Issue seeks to compile significant scientific findings and technological breakthroughs that advance the application of thin films in environmental catalysis. We aim to foster a deeper understanding of the current landscape and future possibilities in this dynamic field by bringing together leading researchers and practitioners.

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 2200 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.
