Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Air and water pollution are major issues today as a result of industrial and technological advancements. Photocatalysis is a promising technology for addressing these difficulties due to its sustainability, affordability, and environmental friendliness. Extensive studies must be conducted to identify an effective photocatalysis for the destruction of pollutants.
The current Special Issue intends to bring together a group of articles related to one of the most important fields in science, catalysis. The Special Issue will publish high-quality research papers related to photocatalysis from various scientific disciplines, including Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Nanotechnology, and Green Chemistry. The discovery of new, promising methods for synthesizing active, stable, and selective nanomaterial-based catalysts will be prioritized as well as the photocatalytic elimination of environmental pollutants in the liquid or gas phase.
If you would like to submit papers to this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house editor, Ms. Rita Lin ([email protected]).

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.
