Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The group of indoor air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), NOx, O3 etc., which can be emitted from construction/decorative materials and/or transported from outdoor ambient atmosphere is a serious problem as they are one of the main causes of sick building syndrome. Additionally, the ongoing worldwide pandemic due to COVID-19 has created more awareness around ensuring best practices to avoid the spread of microorganisms in indoor environments. In this respect, research on developing various types of catalysts targeting gaseous pollutants of low concentrations in room temperature and/or creating a material surface which can sterilize and/or inhibit the adherence of bacteria and viruses has attracted increased interest. Hence, this Special Issue is dedicated to filling the knowledge gaps and leading to the progression of new knowledge/findings in these particular areas. This Special Issue seeks original research and review articles on exploring the development and applications of catalysts/materials to degrade a wide range of gaseous pollutants and antimicrobial materials to mitigate the spread of disease-causing microbes in an indoor environment.

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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
