Research Progress of Nanomaterials for Photocatalysis

Dear Colleagues,

Semiconductor nanomaterials and heterojunctions, including those with (noble) metal nanoparticles, are critical to photocatalysis. Over the past several decades, advances have been made to boost photocatalytic performance by designing multicomponent catalysts for a more efficient charge separation. The applications span a wide range of vital areas for the future of human society; the most important among them are solar energy harvesting for water splitting, CO₂ reduction, and pollutant and microorganism control.

This Special Issue of “Nanomaterials” will address current progress and future perspectives of nanophotocatalysts. We are inviting qualified reviews and progress research papers on the following topics:

• Nanomaterials design for photoelectrocatalysts, including 0D, 1D and 2D nanomaterials and their applications to water splitting;
• Nanophotocatalysts for CO₂ reduction;
• Nanophotocatalysts for pollutant and microorganism control;
• Processing methods, including but not limited to chemical, electrochemical and biomimetic methods;
• Nanophotocatalysts support design, processing, and property control.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
