Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the past decades, there has been great progress in nanomaterials, which are having a gigantic impact on industrial applications. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology have brought about opportunities for driving chemical transformations utilizing different forms of energy, such as light from solar energy, LED, and laser or electricity from renewable energy. However, an avalanche of challenges regarding further understanding on how to construct highly efficient nanomaterials as well as the mechanisms for boosting highly efficient chemical transformations and selectivity remain vital to the entire field. The novel synthesis and fabrication of nanomaterials, structure characterization, and theoretical calculation for understanding the properties of surfaces and interfaces of the catalysis process are all areas awaiting development from scientists.
The Special Issue aims to gather papers on the electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photoelectrochemical applications of nanomaterials. Discussions of innovative materials/nanostructure design, catalytic properties, studies on possible mechanisms, theoretical designs and calculations, or any other topics relevant to the theme are welcome.

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.
