TiO2 for Photocatalytic Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "Photocatalysis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysis has emerged as an advanced process due to its great potential as a green and eco-friendly process for the treatment of wastewater, air, and antimicrobial disinfection applications. In this context, TiO2 nanostructures have been shown to be the prominent photocatalyst candidates due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and ease of fabrication. Since ancient times, TiO2 powders have been commonly used as a paint additive to obtain white pigments. Since the discovery of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, it has been known as the most efficient photocatalytic material among various metal oxide semiconductors. To date, it has been widely studied in academic research and used in a variety of advanced photocatalytic applications, including the removal of organic pollutants and pathogens, water splitting, and CO2 reduction.
This Special Issue TiO2 for photocatalytic applications covers the design, preparation, characterization, and photocatalytic performances of TiO2-based nanostructures (such as nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanorods, nanowires, film and etc.) and their composites. We invite authors to contribute original research articles as well as review articles with special emphasis of TiO2 nanostructures (or composites) for photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction and environmental remediation.

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.
