Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of pharmaceuticals in the environment poses a significant challenge due to their potential ability to harm ecosystems and human health. Conventional removal methods are often unable to completely eliminate these pharmacologically active compounds. However, sustainable catalysis has emerged as a promising solution, offering the effective degradation and mineralization of these compounds via advanced oxidation processes.
Heterogeneous catalysis, in particular, has garnered attention for its ability to utilize novel materials with unique catalytic properties. Despite its potential, the widespread application of these materials is hindered by high costs. Computational modeling, including ab initio calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, emerges as a crucial tool in optimizing the performance of catalysis and predicting the behavior of compounds, thus mitigating the economic barriers to its large-scale implementation.
Thus, we are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue entitled "Advancements in Sustainable Remediation Technologies: Integrating Advanced Oxidation Processes, Catalytic Nanomaterials, and Computational Modeling". This Special Issue aims to showcase advancements in catalysis and its application in the removal of pharmaceutical compounds and the broader pharmaceutical industry.
We welcome the submission of original research papers or reviews that explore various aspects of catalytic materials and their applications, including adsorption, photocatalysis, computational studies, and toxicity assessments. We encourage researchers from diverse fields, including catalysis, environmental chemistry, and pharmaceutical sciences, to contribute their insights and findings to this Special Issue.
We look forward to your contributions and the collective advancement of knowledge in this critical area.

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.
