Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will be dedicated to new trends and achievements in research work focused on photocatalysis and photocatalytic materials. It will include design and preparation of new structural materials with unique properties, development of new techniques used for photocatalysts characterization, application, and possible commercialisation of the obtained results. Photocatalytic reactions in water, gas phase, as well as in the environment of the microorganisms will be considered, including also generation of hydrogen, selective synthesis of organics, and self-cleaning and photocatalytic surfaces. Construction of the reactors and application of different sources of lights will be discussed. The impact of the environmental conditions on the yield of the photocatalytic reactions and the comparison of the laboratory tests with their commercial application will be considered. Some comments on the application of existing ISO standards for the photocatalytic tests will be included.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
