10th Anniversary of Catalysts—Feature Papers in Photocatalysis

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to welcome you to our Special Issue “Photocatalysis”, celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Catalysts. As you all know, photocatalysis has become one of the key areas within the catalysis field. Since it adds just another feature to the already rather complex mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis, that is, the interaction with photons required to initiate the overall process, there is still a large number of unknowns regarding details of the underlying reaction mechanism(s). Therefore, contributions highlighting such mechanistic details are highly welcome in this Special Issue. Moreover, a photocatalyst often requires the presence of one or even several so-called co-catalysts to enable the desired chemical conversions. Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit to this Special Issue your explanations regarding the role of catalysis in a photocatalytic process. Other areas for which high-level contributions are needed—but are by no means limited to—plasmonic photocatalysis, nanocomposite materials, doped and co-doped semiconductor materials, photocatalytic synthesis, solar fuels, theoretical modeling of photocatalytic processes, photoreactor and reaction engineering, non-linear optical effects, decontamination and disinfection, and pilot and full-scale applications, to name but a few. We look forward to receiving your contribution(s) as soon as possible. In addition to original research articles, we welcome review and feature articles.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 2200 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.
