Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The overall focus, scope, and purpose of this Special Issue is as follows:
Overall focus: catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants—including small-molecular organic acids and other macromolecular organics present in water environment.
Scope: A comprehensive understanding of advanced oxidation decontamination techniques, especially for industrial applications. All aspects of the design, preparation, characterization, and regeneration of various green and novel catalysts, which can be derived from biomass, transition metals, etc. In particular, the conversion of environmental waste into environmentally friendly catalysts for renewable use is encouraged. Scientific insight into the degradation paths of pollutants and the application of interfacial catalytic oxidation processes in solving environmental challenges are also encouraged.
Purpose: Use a variety of practical technologies to solve existing environmental pollution problems. The combination of adsorption separation and oxidation technology for the efficient removal of macromolecular organic micropollutants is highly regarded.
Contextual Relevance: Discuss how the topics covered align with current trends and gaps in environmental catalysis research. Highlight the significance of addressing pollutants from both stationary and mobile sources, as well as advancements in catalyst development for clean energy production.
Literature Review: Summarize key findings from relevant studies in catalytic pollution control, clean energy production, photocatalytic processes, and biomass transformation. Emphasize areas where new catalytic routes or technologies can make a significant impact.
Future Directions: Suggest future research directions based on gaps identified in the literature and emerging challenges in environmental catalysis. This could include exploring new catalyst materials, improving catalytic efficiency, or integrating catalytic processes into broader environmental management strategies.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
