Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The excessive emissions of hazardous pollutants into water and air have become an issue in today's society. These emissions lead to water resources contamination and global warming. Therefore, adequate processes are required, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) especially photocatalysis and electrocatalysis are considered the most promising techniques to overcome and solve such problems. In this context, high-performance catalysts are needed with a depth understanding of their structures, surface and interface for the objective of studying their catalytic mechanisms and performances. The aim of the Special Issue is then to establish sustainable advanced materials to address the water, atmospheric pollution and energy issues. The design and characterization of these catalysts, their new synthesis routes and/or their deposition methods as well as their characterization techniques and applications will be collected under the scope of the current Special Issue.
We welcome submissions in the form of original research papers or short reviews that reflect the state of research in the following specific topics: Synthesis of novel photo/electrocatalysts; Physicochemical characterization of photo/electrocatalysts; Degradation of refractory inorganic and/or organic pollutants; Theoretical studies of photo/electrocatalysts. Water depollution Photo/electrocatalysts for H2 production Photo/electrocatalysts for fuel production Photo/electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
