Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysis, a process that uses light to accelerate a photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst, has emerged as a groundbreaking technology with the potential to address some of the most pressing environmental and energy challenges of our time. The significance of photocatalysis lies in its diverse applications, ranging from environmental remediation to renewable energy production. This technology harnesses solar energy, a clean and abundant resource, to drive chemical reactions that can degrade pollutants from wastewater and air, split water to produce H2, and convert CO2 into valuable fuels. The versatility and sustainability of photocatalysis make it an essential field of study in our quest for green and innovative solutions.
Asia, with its rapid industrialization and urbanization, faces unique environmental challenges and energy crises. The region's burgeoning population and economic activities have led to increased pollution and a growing demand for clean energy. Consequently, there has been a substantial and sustained interest in photocatalytic research across Asia. Researchers in this region are making significant strides in developing novel photocatalytic materials and systems to tackle these challenges. This Special Issue, "Recent Advances in Photocatalysis Research in Asia", aims to highlight the latest breakthroughs and innovations from Asian researchers, showcasing their contributions to the global scientific community. We hope this issue can provide a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research, facilitating the exchange of ideas, fostering collaborations among scientists, and offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of photocatalysis research in Asia.

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.
