Advances in Photocatalytic Degradation, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This issue is a continuation of the previously successful Special Issue “Advances in Photocatalytic Degradation”.

The rapid development of industrialization has led to excessive emissions of hazardous pollutants into our water and air resources, which has a negative impact on health and the environment. Photocatalysis is widely used to degrade and mineralize hazardous organic compounds, reduce toxic metal ions to their non-toxic states, deactivate and destroy waterborne microorganisms, decompose air pollutants including volatile organic compounds, NOx, CO, and NH₃, remove pathogens from air, and degrade waste plastics.

This Special Issue is a collection of original research papers, reviews, and commentaries that address the development and application of innovative photocatalytic systems for environmental remediation. Submissions are welcome in, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Development of novel semiconductors and/or composites for environmental remediation;
• Photocatalytic degradation of emerging contaminants in wastewater;
• Photocatalytic hydrogen production;
• Use of photocatalysis for indoor and urban air quality intervention;
• Scale-up approaches for photocatalytic degradation systems;
• Economic and life cycle assessment for environmental remediation by 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 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.
