Catalysts (ISSN: 2073-4344) has launched the Section “Photocatalysis”. The Section is dedicated to publishing original, novel, and high-impact contributions related to this cross-disciplinary field of photochemistry, photo-electrochemistry, and catalysis and will attract the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Photocatalysts are of great importance since they can be utilized in a large array of research fields, including solar energy conversion, photosensible sensors, wastewater and air treatment, organic as well as inorganic synthesis, and surface science and storage devices.

As the papers published in Catalysts are of open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full text of all articles published in our journal. We welcome you to read our top cited papers published in 2021:
