Dear Colleagues,

Carbon materials (e.g., activated carbons, carbon nanotubes and graphene derivatives) have been widely employed in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), often as catalyst supports and less commonly as catalysts on their own. Carbon materials with no added metals can be used as efficient catalysts in most of these processes or combined with a semiconductor material in the particular case of photocatalysis. In recent years, carbon-based membranes, in particular those composed by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene have gained interest due to their transport characteristics, huge strength, smooth structure and tunable surface chemistry. Furthermore, membranes containing carbon-metal oxide composites have demonstrated a potential to the improvement of the membrane properties and performance.

This Special Issue will deal with the recent advances in catalysts, membranes and catalytic membranes based on carbon materials for water treatment and gas separation. Different synthesis procedures, characterization techniques and their application for gas separation and water treatment will be covered, as well as novel insights can be proposed.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications, and reviews are welcome.

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. C is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
