Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the increasingly serious problem of water pollution, the emerging contaminants (ECs) commonly present in the aquatic environment have become a topic of significant attention. Advanced oxidation technology is considered one of the most effective methods for degrading ECs, and catalytic technology can significantly enhance the reaction speed of catalytic oxidation. Therefore, the development of highly active catalysts has become a key factor in improving the effective removal of ECs in water. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted widespread attention in the field of heterogeneous catalysis due to their maximum atomic utilization efficiency, stable performance, and low susceptibility to environmental interference. Numerous studies have shown that SACs have significant catalytic degradation effects on ECs.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of recent research related to this field of interest, including the latest applications of single-atom catalyst technology for the treatment of emerging contaminants in water. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- SAC-based catalytic oxidation technology (including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and Fenton like catalysis);
- Preparation and characterization of SACs;
- Study on the stability and regeneration of SACs.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Huiping Zeng

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.
