Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An exponential growth of research activities focused on TiO2-based materials has been seen in the past decades. In fact, some reviews highlight TiO2 as the most studied transition-metal oxide and one of the most investigated compounds in materials science. Over the last years, continuing breakthroughs in the synthetic protocols and development of TiO2-based materials have brought new findings on the synthesis of novel structures with controlled size/shape and electronic, optical, morphologic properties, such as pure TiO2 nanotubes, nanowires, nanorods, as well as doped materials and composites, among others. Such materials have shown remarkable results in a wide range of applications.
TiO2-based materials have been used traditionally for catalysis/photocatalytic and photovoltaic applications. In this sense, this Special Issue aims to compile relevant contributions presenting recent advances in photocatalytic/photovoltaic application studies, kinetics and mechanism analysis, selectivity and stability analysis as well as light–matter interaction using TiO2-based materials. In addition, TiO2-based materials have shown remarkable results in others fields including sensing, electrochromic as well as hydrogen storage among others, all of which can be also featured in this collection. Experimental and theoretical/modelling manuscripts, as well as concepts, perspectives and reviews are welcome.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
