Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into valuable fuels and photocatalytic degradation of organics have attracted extensive research interest because of their potential applications in solving the environmental problems. Up to now, many photocatalysts have been reported, and many excellent results have also been obtained. But the efficiency of general photocatalyst is still low and does not meet practical applications. This is primarily due to photocatalysts’ low solar energy efficiency, poor carrier separation efficiency, and low reactant uptake, which severely limit their photocatalytic performances. Therefore, further explorations of these topics are valuable for both scientific research and practical applications. This Special Issue is aimed at presenting selected articles on advances in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into valuable fuels and photocatalytic degradation of organics. The types of contributions include review articles and research articles.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Photocatalytic nanoparticles and nanocomposites;
- Photocatalytic CO2 reduction;
- Photocatalytic degradation of organics;
- Photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation;
- Future perspectives for photocatalytic CO2 reduction and photocatalytic degradation of organics.

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.
