About This Topic
Globally, the major concern related to environment is the discharge of toxic and harmful chemicals into the water bodies from various industries, and the remediation strategies of emerging contaminants at large scale and in a cost-effective manner is a great challenge for the researchers. Among the various techniques, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) via photocatalyst have been proven to be efficient to eliminate various organic and inorganic contaminants from the water bodies. Therefore, the proposed special issue will publish manuscripts dealing with fundamental photocatalytic processes in degradation of urgent and emerging environmental contaminants. Special interest lies in:
1) Environmental photocatalysis and new solar remediation technology.
2) Photocatalytic Materials: novel photocatalysts and nanostructures.
3) Standardization of photocatalytic activity evaluations in lab and industry.
3) Emerging scientific/engineering opportunities in semiconductor photocatalysis.
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue. LIDSEN distributes articles under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License in an open-access model. The authors own the copyright to the article, and the article can be free to access, distribute, and reuse provided that the original work is correctly cited.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (cr@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.
