Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental and energy issues are two major problems related to human survival in the future. Photocatalytic or electrocatalytic technology can provide a very promising solution for mankind to solve the above two problems. Pore-making is an important method to increase the active sites of the photo/electro catalysts and, by controlling the pore size, the diffusion of reactive species during the catalytic reaction can be effectively ensured, that is, the reaction kinetics and diffusion kinetics are simultaneously promoted in catalytic reaction.
The Special Issue aims to collect the latest progress and prospects in the field of porous photo/electro catalysts, including the design, synthesis, modification and application of porous catalysts. On the one hand, the synthesis strategy of porous photo/electro catalysts is the key to obtaining such novel materials; on the other hand, the efficiency of pure catalysts will be restricted by their intrinsic characteristics, even if they are porous, so modifications such as doping, loading precious metals, and constructing heterojunctions for porous catalysts are necessary to improve photo/electro catalytic efficiency. In addition, specific study of porous photo/electro catalysts for different catalytic targets and in different catalytic conditions is the only way to actually use this kind of promising materials, it should also be given significant attention.

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 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.
