Catalytic reactions form around 85% of all chemical reactions, being especially important in environmental science. It has been more than 20 years since Anastas and Warner introduced their 12 postulates of green chemistry, of which the 9th is catalysis. There have been continuous developments in catalysis regarding environmental applications, which are embodied in the exponential growth of scientific articles (published annually) concerning that topic.
This Special Issue is devoted to "Greener Catalysis for Environmental Applications", and primarily covers the catalytic removal of pollutants (from water, wastewater, soil, and air) as well as the catalytic synthesis of value-added chemicals (for example, in nonthermal plasma catalytic systems).
Articles focusing on the catalytic activation of oxidants and green syntheses of sophisticated catalysts for various environmental applications are particularly welcomed. Primarily, the following topics are planned to be covered in this Special Issue:
Green synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts;
Catalytic activation of oxidants (advanced oxidation processes; sulfate radical-based processes);
Photocatalysis for the removal of, e.g., micropollutants;
Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into value-added chemicals and fuels;
Catalytic hydrogenation of contaminants in water;
Nanozymes for environmental applications.
All studies (experimental and theoretical) in the scope of this Special Issue, including original research and review articles, short communications, and perspective articles, are invited for submission.
