Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysts can help to generate hydrogen from water and thus, offer a sustainable way of creating an excellent fuel, aided only by the power of sun. There has been tremendous progress with both organic and inorganic catalysts showing good efficiencies towards hydrogen production but there are still challenges remaining.
In this Special Issue, our aim is to capture the recent progress in the field of photocatalytic water splitting. The priority is given to catalysts that are active towards visible light as they are the most promising for applications in green hydrogen generation. However, we will welcome the input on photocatalytic materials that operate over the entire solar spectrum, including those that operate under UV light as they play an important role in removal of organic pollutants in wastewater. The aim of this issue is to demonstrate to the readers that there is a huge array of new and exciting photocatalytic materials that have emerged and matured over last decade.

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. Hydrogen is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
