Photocatalytic Processes for Organic Pollutants: Advanced Applications and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, increasing levels of organic pollutants in water and air are affecting human health and environmental safety. Effective elimination of environmental pollutants, i.e., via the photocatalytic degradation of persistent organic pollutants into nontoxic organic/inorganic chemicals, is essential to protect the environment and ensure human development. This photocatalytic process is based on the redox ability of photocatalysts under light conditions, which allows the purification and transformation of pollutants. In this context, additional efforts can be made to steadily improve efficiency by adapting the physicochemical, morphological and optical properties of potential photocatalytic materials. Photocatalysis has gained international academic recognition as an efficient, safe and environmentally friendly environmental purification technology for air quality and wastewater improvement.

This Special Issue, "Photocatalytic Processes for Organic Pollutants: Advanced Applications and Perspectives", aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current status and prospects of this field. Research related to the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants is welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Photocatalyst doping agents and cocatalysts;
• Photocatalyst immobilization and support materials;
• Innovations in photocatalytic reactors and photocatalytic fuel cells;
• Experimental, theoretical, process optimization and modeling of photocatalytic processes;
• Development of novel photocatalytic materials.

I am pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Both original research papers and reviews are welcome.

Dr. Ivana Grčić
Guest Editor

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. Processes 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.
