Advanced Materials for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrogen is considered a clean energy vector, although nowadays, most hydrogen is still produced from fossil fuels. The production of clean hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight is one of the promising solutions to address the increasing demand for energy and the associated environmental concerns. The powder-type photocatalytic system is a particularly attractive candidate for the development of a practical large-scale and cost-effective system to utilize sunlight as a renewable energy source.

This Special Issue aims to report on developments in the synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced nano- and micro-materials for photocatalytic hydrogen production under UV and/or visible light. Furthermore, research into understanding the mechanism of water splitting are important subjects. In this Special Issue, we are inviting scientists to share their findings related to efforts for hydrogen photo-generation using advanced materials, such as perovskites, nano–bio hybrids, metal–organic frameworks, semiconductor composites, polymer-based hybrids, carbon-based catalysts, and metal and non-metal oxides.

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.
