Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysts have been widely applied today in various areas such as water splitting, wastewater treatment, air purification, and bacteria inactivation. It is a challenge of great importance to explore newer photocatalysts that are stable, abundant, and efficient. In recent years, intensive efforts have been devoted to the discovery of novel photocatalytic materials (e.g., C/N/S-doped TiO2, complex metal oxides, and low-dimensional semiconductor photocatalysis), to understand the fundamental principles governing the photocatalytic performance, improve efficiency, and expand the scope of applications.
In this collection, we are particularly interested in designing and identifying structures and properties with advanced photocatalytic performance. Additionally, we aim to rationalize the intrinsic properties and features affecting photocatalytic performance and further insight into their catalytic mechanism via simulation and calculation.

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.
