Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the emphasis on resource and energy conservation as well as environmental issues, there has been a move towards chemical processes that can be carried out under safer conditions. These issues can be addressed by photoredox catalysis. While photoredox catalysis was initially developed for organic chemistry, this unprecedented approach is now being applied to various research fields, ranging from the synthesis of polymers to water depollution or the functionalization of metal surfaces, etc. Using this approach, a drastic reduction of catalyst content could be achieved, resulting from the possibility of regenerating the latter in situ.
Researchers in the field are cordially invited to submit relevant manuscripts concerning the development of new photoredox catalysts for a Special Issue entitled ‘Recent Advances in Photoredox Catalysts’, within the journal Catalysts. Perspectives and reviews in this active research field are also welcome.

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.
