| 2020 Editors’ Collections |
Environmental chemistry: Pollution control
This collection, guest-edited by RSC Advances Associate Editor Feng Zhao (Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences) features articles on the theme ‘pollution control’, illustrating the notability, quality and variety of publications in RSC Advances. These articles are already among the most highly cited research articles in the journal, illustrating their impact. Subject areas include absorptive materials, photocatalytic materials, bio-magnetic membranes and method development.
Nanomaterials for the environment
This collection, guest-edited by RSC Advances Associate Editor Ranjit T. Koodali (Western Kentucky University), features articles published in the journal in 2019 on nanomaterials for the environment. The themed collection reflects the myriad innovative approaches developed by researchers to remove pollutants using novel, and often using cost-effective approaches for both the synthesis and subsequent removal of pollutants.
