Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
The theme of this issue is “Photocatalysis in a Circular Economy”. With this topic, we aspire to attract innovative and interdisciplinary contributions from pure and applied chemistry, with a particular focus on sustainable development. The scale-up from the intrinsic photoactivity of semiconductor materials to a photoreactor able to transform scraps to energy and/or chemicals using solar energy combines innovative chemistry and technology. Examples of the areas in which papers would be especially welcome are: Development of photoactive materials, water splitting, CO2 capture and photoreduction, photoreforming of biomasses, and photoreactors design.

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. Chemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1800 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.
