Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution and energy shortage have become critical issues that require urgent action from humans worldwide. One of the most noticeable and applicable technique to deal with these problems is the use of photocatalytic processes, where the photocatalysts can be used to remove pollutants from the environment and to produce various energy sources, such as hydrogen, hydrocarbon, syngas, etc. The performance of photocatalytic processes depends on various factors including the types of semiconductors, material bandgaps, material nanostructures, reactor designs, etc. This Special Issue aims to publish the most recent findings in engineering and developments for the improvement of photocatalysis processes, targeting energy conversion and environmental remediation.
This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, photocatalysis processes for:
- Air pollution remediation;
- Waste water remediation;
- Hydrogen production;
- CO2 reduction into fuels.

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.
