Advanced Photocatalytic Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion and Environmental Remediation

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of economy and society, the problem of energy shortage and environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. Researchers worldwide have been exploring new technologies to effectively overcome the problems above. Photocatalytic technology is one of the most promising long-term solutions to directly utilize green solar energy to produce valuable chemical fuels and degrade pollutants. Therefore, the research of photocatalytic materials can promote the development of photocatalysis, which is of great significance in terms of energy and environment.

The purpose of this special issue is to collect the latest research results in the field of photocatalysts, both from a fundamental and applied perspective. The areas of focus for this special issue include: photocatalytic materials for water splitting, CO₂ conversion, nitrogen fixation, pollutant degradation, and organic synthesis, first-principles calculation of photocatalytic materials, design and modification strategies of photocatalytic materials, analysis of photocatalytic principles, and characterization methods. Welcome to submit review or research papers on the preparation, properties, mechanism, and application of photocatalytic materials.

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.
