Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, photo(electro) catalysis has been receiving increasing attention as a sustainable strategy to tackle environmental remediation issues, promote clean energy generation alternatives or to explore alternative therapies to treat cancer. Nevertheless, although the scientific and technological achievements reached to date have been many, the efficiency is still low and sometimes far from an end-of-pipe practical application. Therefore, the need to explore novel and highly active photocatalysts with expanded response is indispensable and indisputable.
This Special Issue aims at highlighting the most recent breakthroughs and discoveries carried out in this hot field, with an especial emphasis on the advances made in the synthesis of photo(electro) catalysts based on carbon nanostructured supports (i.e., carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, C3N4, graphene, RGO, etc.) or that alternatively combine the use of conventional semiconductor supports or natural enzymes with carbon nanostructures acting as sensitizers (i.e., carbon dots, graphene dots, carbon layers, etc.) to expand the photoresponse towards the visible-near infrared (NIR) range and in situ generate reactive species. The application of these photocatalytic materials towards less explored reactions such as gas phase or in situ biophotocatalytic processes will be also especially welcome in this Special Issue.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Photochem.

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. Molecules 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 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.
