Recently Advance in Nanoparticle for Photocatalysis

Dear Colleagues,

For the past few decades, nanoparticle catalysts have seen substantial improvements as this field offers great potential opportunities to develop new catalysts with superior activities, and long-term stability. However, these nanoparticle catalysts mainly depend on surface chemistry, carrier generation and transportation, surface defects, interaction with the support and their electronic effects are responsible for the novel catalytic activity of these nanoparticles catalysts over their counterparts. The field of nanoparticle catalysis, today, therefore, covers a wide range of applications and this Special Issue will cover recent advances in this exciting and encouraging field of research.

We invite you to submit your research in the form of original full-length articles, short communications, perspective articles, and mini-reviews to this Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Nanoparticle Catalysts” that reflect state-of-the-art research in nanoparticle catalysis, on the following topics: Design and synthesis of nanoparticles catalysts, growth mechanism of nanoparticles catalysts, nanoparticle clusters and agglomeration, structural stability, role of surface chemistry and its structure, nanoparticles composite and electronic effects, effect of surface area on catalyst/electrolyte interface, catalysts in oxidation reactions, catalyst stability and regeneration, reaction kinetics and dynamics studies on nanoparticles catalysts, nanoparticles catalysts for antimicrobials, nanoparticles catalysts for environmental remediation, nanoparticles catalysts for organic dye degradations, and nanoparticles catalysts for eco-friendly fuels.

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.
