Electron Paramagnetic Resonance in Photocatalysis
This special issue belongs to the section "Photocatalysis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalytic reactions mostly involve species carrying unpaired electrons. These include electron–hole pairs, trapped charge carriers, paramagnetic redox metal centres, surface defects, organic radicals, as well as reactive oxygen species. These systems can be systematically interrogated, probed, and studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and hyperfine spectroscopies. These techniques are capable of providing information on the identity, chemical composition, and dynamics of the paramagnetic centres (and their surroundings) involved in the photocatalytic events. This Special Issue aims to showcase current scientific developments in the area of EPR spectroscopy applied to photocatalysts used for environmental remediation, clean energy production, and chemical synthesis/processing. The Special Issue is open to both original research articles as well as extended reviews.

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-anonymized 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.
