Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current main global concerns are excess emission of greenhouse gases and the growth of environmental pollution by organic compounds arising from many industrial, agricultural and urban human activities. Different materials have been widely studied in academic research and used in a variety of advanced catalytic applications, including the removal of organic pollutants and pathogens, water splitting, CO2 reduction, etc. However, the limited application of catalytic processes for environmental remediation at larger scales is related to limitations of the techniques, including the low quantum efficiency of commercial catalysts and high energy consumption. Therefore, synthesis and study of innovative and highly active materials for catalytic processes, including photo-catalytic, electro-photocatalytic, and electrocatalytic processes, are needed.
This Special Issue Emerging Photocatalytic Materials and Environmental Applications covers the design, preparation, characterization, and catalytic performances of entirely new catalytic materials as well as the study of different modifications of known catalysts which will show enhanced performances in environmental applications. The articles relating to the study of various forms of catalytic materials and their composites (such as porous materials, nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanorods, nanowires, thin film, etc.) are welcome. We invite authors to contribute with original articles as well as review articles comprising experimental approach and/or theoretical modelling with emphasis on materials for 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 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.
