Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious global issues that affects the Earth’s entire living population. Therefore, there is a strong demand for effective, green and eco-friendly technology for environmental protection. In recent years, semiconductor metal oxide-based photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful technique for environmental remediation. The suitable electronic structure, optical properties, and charge transport characteristics are the important features of metal oxide nanostructures that make them promising candidates in photocatalysis. So far, a number of metal oxide-based nanostructures and their composites have been applied for the treatment of wastewater, air purification, and antimicrobial disinfection, as well as biomedical applications.
This Special Issue will present the most recent and significant developments in metal oxide nanostructures or their composites photocatalysts. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome for submission.
The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following items:
- Design and development of metal oxide-based photocatalysts;
- Photocatalytic removal of air and water pollutants;
- Environmental photocatalyst;
- Heterogeneous catalysts;
- Antibacterial;
- Wastewater treatment;
- Toxicity reduction;
- CO2 reduction;
- Photocatalysis.

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.
