Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are crucial in modern environmental chemistry for addressing organic pollutants. These processes generate highly reactive compounds, like hydroxyl radicals, that degrade a wide range of contaminants. Key AOPs include methods such as Fenton's reaction, photocatalysis, and ozonation, as well as the use of advanced nanomaterials. These methods are essential for treating both persistent and emerging pollutants in water and wastewater.
This Special Issue of Molecules aims to collect cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews on the latest advancements in AOPs. We invite contributions exploring innovative methodologies, novel catalytic materials, and optimization strategies to enhance the efficiency and selectivity of AOPs. Studies on the mechanistic understanding of degradation pathways, intermediate product identification, and toxicity reduction are particularly welcome, providing insights into the holistic impact of AOPs on environmental health and sustainability.

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.
