Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on current research activities on the topic of new advanced material design to catalyze the decomposition of micropollutants. A wide variety of novel advanced materials has attracted particular interest in this field, mainly due to their high photocatalytic efficiency in converting pollutants into environmentally friendly byproducts. In such cases, there is a broad acceptance that computational tools are critically important for developing such materials and can help rationalize the new nanoscale phenomena. Fundamental mechanistic studies based on the synergy between theory and practice can guide the discovery/development of new catalytic materials.
Therefore, we invite authors to contribute high-quality, original research articles, reviews, as well as opinion letters by experts in the field, focusing on the preparation, modification, and application of novel catalytic materials design that will be considered for this Special issue. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advances in material synthesis and bandgap engineering;
- Nanomaterials for energy and catalytic purposes;
- Advanced materials characterization techniques;
- Computational materials characterization and computing tools;
- Artificial photosynthesis;
- Photocatalysis.

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 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.
