Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has forced the scientific community to explore new alternative methods of mitigating environmental problems. One method of solving these issues is heterogeneous photocatalysis. This technology has been met with success in terms of reducing CO2 molecule into solar fuels, splitting water molecules to generate H2 and O2, removing air pollutants, etc. However, the design and development of new catalytic materials is an important issue that must be solved.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research related to the promising new catalytic materials for energy and environmental applications. This Special Issue will serve as an advanced forum to discuss and interface different approaches for the synthesis and development of new catalytic materials.
This Special Issue will provide a guide of frontier knowledge generated to enable the scientific community to develop new ideas and concepts to facilitate the design of catalytic materials with better efficiencies to generate clean and renewable energy and to provide strategies to remove different pollutants from the natural sources, e.g., air, water, and soil.
In this Special Issue, both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: synthesis of new catalytic materials, optimization of photocatalytic reactors, CO2 reduction, H2 production, O2 evolution, degradation of organic molecules, e.g., dyes, antibiotics, plastics, etc.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
