Porous Materials for Photocatalysis

Dear Colleagues,

The aims of this Special Issue are to explore photocatalytic processes across domains like energy generation, pollutant reduction, plastic degradation, water splitting, and VOC elimination; focus on wastewater pollutant breakdown for valuable organic product creation, advanced CO₂ conversion, and NO_X/SO₂ removal through photocatalysis; develop advanced materials with defect engineering (anions, cations, surfaces, and interfaces) in compounds like oxides, sulfides, composites, and carbon nitrides; and tailor catalysts by tuning parameters of nanomaterials like crystallite dimensions, surface area, pore structure, and volume. With your expertise in surface science, photochemistry, and materials engineering for green energy and environmental breakthroughs, we would appreciate it if you would join our Special Issue by contributing your insights, research, and impactful results.

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. Surfaces is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
