Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this topic is for the preparation of new visible light-responsive photocatalysts which will be detected by all kinds of advanced experimental instruments, such as transmission electron microscope. Different preparation methods, such as the solvothermal method, will be utilized to prepare heterojunction photocatalysts, precious metal-doped composite photocatalysts and monocrystal photocatalysts. The above new photocatalysts will be used for the degradation of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation or under ultraviolet light illumination. The removal rate of poisonous organic pollutants and the removal rates of the total organic carbon will be analyzed and arranged. The intermediate product during photocatalytic degradation of poisonous organic pollutants will be investigated. The degradation pathways of poisonous organic pollutants such as pentachlorophenol will be provided. The degradation mechanism using hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion and photoinduced holes will be revealed. Hydrogen production via water splitting will be realized by using new monocrystal photocatalysts or heterojunction photocatalysts under visible light irradiation or under ultraviolet light illumination.

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.
