Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Uncontrolled industrialization over the past few decades, the global economy and population growth are increasingly raising awareness of the threat of a global energy crisis due to the extremely rapid consumption of fossil fuels. For the sustainable development of society, the development of renewable green technologies and the decontamination of the environment are the most crucial tasks.
Photocatalytically active materials have been studied with increasing intensity since the 1970s, leading to significant advances in photocatalysis and energy applications. The overall photocatalytic activity of a material depends on a number of factors such as crystal phase composition, crystal planes, surface modification, morphology, doping with other elements, decoration with metals, (nano)composite formation, etc.
The current Special Issue aims to bring together qualitative studies on photocatalytically active materials. The collected articles should focus on summarizing the latest knowledge on the fabrication and potential application of materials used in the field of photocatalysis. Related studies on synthesis techniques, detailed characterization, theoretical–computational results and possible reaction mechanisms are also welcome.
We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue on "Fabrication and Application of Photocatalytically Active Materials" in the form of original scientific research articles, comprehensive reviews, communications, case reports and letters. We look forward to your valued participation in this Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
