Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With this year marking the 30th anniversary of Molecules, we are pleased to celebrate this milestone by launching a Special Issue entitled “Design and Application of Nanomaterials for Photocatalytic Degradation.”
Photocatalysis is one of the most promising approaches for addressing current environmental challenges. Designing more efficient photocatalytic materials is crucial for promoting sustainability. Given their unique physicochemical properties, nanomaterials represent an excellent choice for the development of advanced photocatalysts.
This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge research on nanomaterials and their applications in photocatalytic degradation processes. We invite you to submit your original research articles and reviews focusing on the design, synthesis, and application of nanomaterials for photocatalytic degradation.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design, synthesis, and characterization of nanomaterial-based photocatalysts;
- Applications of nanomaterial photocatalysts in degradation processes;
- Optimization of photocatalytic and photodegradation processes.
We look forward to receiving your valuable 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
