Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although industrial development has contributed to the prosperity of society, its production process has inevitably resulted in potential water pollution due to industrial sewage discharge. The biodegradability and toxicity of synthetic compounds limit conventional water treatments. There has been a massive surge in attempts to develop efficient and clean water treatment technologies to meet the global challenges of water contamination. The reactive groups produced by the advanced oxidation process can efficiently degrade organic pollutants in water, which has become one of the most promising water treatment technologies. Photocatalysis, plasma, electrochemical oxidation, and oxidizer activation are effective water treatment processes, and the addition of catalysts can release the potential of these technologies. Thus, this Special Issue is devoted to the science behind catalysts, including but not limited to their fabrication, characterization, function mechanism, and application in reactors. There is an avalanche of challenges regarding the further understanding of constructing highly efficient catalysts and the mechanisms behind high-efficiency catalysis. Specifically, the intrinsic relationship between the catalyst and oxidation system needs to be investigated in detail. This Special Issue will serve as a reliable resource and technical support for those working in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation technology.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
