Interests: fabrication of advanced photoactive materials for solar energy utilization, for water splitting and environmental remediation by carbon dioxide capture and its solar conversion to useful fuel chemicals, methanol and ethanol

Dear Colleagues,

In this special issue of on “Advanced Materials for water splitting“ we are soliciting original theoretical and experimental articles and some critical reviews that utilized new and advanced materials for efficient electrochemical and photoelectrochemical splitting of water and non-noble metal based electrocatalytic materials for efficient splitting of water in solar cell driven all solar monolithic, semi-monolithic or regular electrolyzers . We are also looking for contributions on smart materials that could be used to utilize solar energy not only for water splitting but also for environmental remediation by carbon dioxide capture and its solar conversion to useful liquid fuel like methanol and ethanol. Some examples could be the use of nitrogen, carbon, sulfur or mixed doped stable UV and visible light active porous, non-porous, nano-tubular and nano-wired semiconductor materials and UV-visible light active nanoparticulate highly stable ternary composite materials that could be used for efficient photochemical water splitting reaction.

Submission

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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials 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 800 CHF (Swiss Francs).
