Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous photocatalysis using semiconducting nanomaterials is regarded as one of the key methods for utilizing solar radiation to carry out useful chemical transformations and convert energy. Photocatalysts play a crucial role for efficient utilization of light in target process. Photocatalytic reaction can also be coupled with application of electricity to achieve the electrocatalytic effect and increase the efficiency of the overall process. Therefore, the design of nanostructured materials and composites with enhanced catalytic activity is important for improving the energy utilization in photoelectrocatalytic processes. This Special Issue on “Nanomaterials for Photo- and Electrocatalytic Processes in Environmental and Energy Applications” is focused on the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials and composites with regard to their application in photo- and electrocatalytic processes for environmental remediation and energy production. This Special Issue is open for the submissions on all types of articles, including research articles, reviews, perspectives, and viewpoints. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Photoelectrocatalysis;
- Photoelectrochemical properties of nanomaterials;
- Synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites;
- Nanomaterials for environmental remediation;
- Photocatalysts for pollutant degradation;
- Electrocatalytic oxidation;
- Solar-driven processes;
- Nanomaterials for photocatalytic reduction;
- Water splitting.

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.
