Preface to Special Issue on Environmental and Energy Catalysis for Sustainable Development

摘要

cqvip:Environmental pollution and energy shortage has been regarded as the two major challenges because of the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization.Considering these challenges,providing green environment and energy for human beings are pivotal for future sustainable development.Nanostructured catalysts(photocatalysts,thermal catalysts and electrocatalysts)with unique physiochemical properties could offer numerous opportunities to solve these issues of environmental and energetic sustainability.In recent years,significant advances have been made on the synthesis,mechanistic understanding and innovative applications of the new catalysts for environmental and energetic problems.These new catalysts have found wide applications in different fashions.
