Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Feature Papers in Reactions in 2026”, invites the submission of high-quality papers in open access format upon invitation from Editorial Board Members, the Editorial Office, or the Editor-in-Chief. Both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are welcome. Contributions to this Special Issue will be published in open access format after peer review. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Reaction mechanisms;
  • Reaction kinetics;
  • Complex reactions, including catalytic ones;
  • Single-atom catalysis;
  • Reaction and reactor engineering (bio-, electro-, photo-, environmental, and chemical);

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Reactions 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 1200 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.

This study investigates the mechanochemical synthesis of silver molybdate (Ag2MoO4). Three silver precursors (AgCl, AgNO3, Ag2SO4) in combination with sodium molybdate dihydrate as the molybdenum precursor were used. Three corresponding sodium salts, which are also formed as byproducts, were employed as process control agents (PCAs) to investigate the possibility of obtaining fine-grained silver molybdate. Milling was performed in a planetary mill at 600 and 100 rpm, and for 2 h, 15 min, and 5 min. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) revealed that AgCl is completely unreactive in this type of reaction, whereas AgNO3 and Ag2SO4 form crystalline Ag2MoO4. Additional sample characterization included Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and simultaneous differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis (DTA-TGA). The results indicate that the silver molybdate formation reaction is favorable and rapid. Even under the mildest conditions, including the presence of PCA, micron-sized silver molybdate particles were obtained. A greater rotation rate and longer milling time resulted in a decrease in particle size, but also an increase in sodium content. However, unlike the few existing reports on the mechanochemical synthesis of Ag2MoO4, which, despite harsh milling conditions, did not yield a phase-pure product, our approach produced well-crystallized and pure silver molybdate even under the mildest synthesis conditions.

In this review, some special characteristics of the reactions in semiconductor photocatalysis are presented. At first, since a pair of the redox reactions take place at the same particle, a particle-based kinetic method was presented and applied for the Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics to describe the photocatalytic oxidation as a function of both the reactant concentration and the light intensity. Since the surface electron transfer (ET) reactions are the subject of electrochemistry, the difference in the characteristics from particulate semiconductor photocatalysis was pointed out by showing each electric potential near the solid surface. Different from ET in electrochemistry, the ET frequency is limited by the photon absorption in photocatalysis. In the estimation of the reaction rate, the validity of Marcus theory in photocatalysis was argued. Almost all photocatalytic reactions are irreversible, because, before the charge recombination, the oxidation and/or reduction must take place at the same particle. Then, the kinetics for irreversible reaction was discussed. As an exception, the reversible reduction reaction of methylviologen with a hole scavenger was presented. By changing pH, the energy levels of thermalized electrons in TiO2 particles were estimated, and the difference of the flat band potentials between anatase and rutile was clearly explained. Thus, various uniqueness of photocatalytic reactions in aqueous suspension of semiconductor particles were demonstrated. Full article
