Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysis and advanced oxidation are considered important technologies for solving global energy and environmental problems, but the easy recombination of photogenerated carriers and low thermodynamic and kinetic factors limit the development and application of advanced oxidation technologies such as photocatalysis. An appropriate amount of surface defects can lead to significant electron delocalization, which can enhance the transport of charge carriers along the defect conductive channel to participate in water splitting and free radical generation reactions, as well as improve the adsorption and activation of water and organic molecules on the catalyst surface. Therefore, defects have great potential in photocatalysis and advanced oxidation.

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.
