Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysis is a sustainable green process that promotes an increase in the kinetics of a chemical reaction driven by solar energy or other forms of radiant energy. It is one of the most promising methods that can be used to effectively help solve current environmental pollution and the increased energy demand. In recent years, photocatalytic technology has made great achievements in the field of organic pollutant degradation, heterogeneous catalysis, clean energy production, gas storage, separation, medicine, etc. To further increase this progress, it is necessary to not only deepen but also combine the knowledge of different fields, such as molecular and structure design, functionality simulation, chemistry, materials, physics, energy, and the environment. It will allow us to design and synthesize novel photocatalysts in a sustainable and green way, and improve the properties of those already known, as well as understand the reactions that take place in both their synthesis and in the photocatalytic processes themselves. In this Special Issue, innovative studies related to photocatalysis in all of these fields are welcome.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
