Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysis has become one of the key fields of interest in catalysis. It has a wide range of applications, such as water splitting, degradation of environmental pollutants, carbon dioxide reduction, and hydrogen peroxide production. At the same time, nanomaterials have long been considered promising photocatalysts that can eliminate environmental pollution and produce hydrogen from water via photocatalysis under sunlight. These nanomaterials are not harmful to the environment and are therefore considered a "green" catalyst, such as metal oxides, metal sulfides, and metallic organic frameworks (MOFs). To achieve a rational application of photocatalysts, it is necessary to understand the relationship between the mechanism properties of nanomaterials and their photocatalytic performances, as well as the fundamentals of photocatalytic activity. Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit to this Special Issue on the synthesis of advanced nanomaterials for photocatalysis, including electronic properties, the mechanism of photocatalysis, and so on. We also welcome your comments on invigorating perspectives, outlooks, and the challenges we are facing now in the development of advanced photocatalysis materials for sustainable applications.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
