Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the industrial revolution, the rapid development of civilization has enriched our lives, but the haphazard developments have caused severe environmental pollution. Photocatalysis by semiconductor materials is one of the promising methods to degrade the aforementioned pollutants, such as chemical contaminants and microorganisms, included in industrial and domestic wastewaters.
Because one of the most important points for achieving a high-efficiency photocatalytic reaction is that a large number of photo-excited charge carriers must be accumulated at the surface of the photocatalyst, which can be used for the degradation of the target pollutants, it is necessary to understand the charge carrier dynamics in photocatalysis for the high photocatalytic activity. This includes charge transport from the bulk to the surface, charge transfer at the interface, charge recombination, and so on.
All types of research studies, using any experimental techniques, related to the charge carrier dynamics in photocatalysis, will be considered for this Special Issue.

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. Photochem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
