Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the intriguing field of nanomaterials as photocatalysts, focusing on their synthesis, characterization, and diverse applications. Nanomaterials, with their unique optical, electronic, and structural properties, are emerging as promising candidates for photocatalysis, which uses light energy to drive chemical reactions. This Special Issue highlights innovative synthesis methods to enhance photocatalytic efficiency and stability, alongside advanced characterization techniques that provide insights into their structural, electronic, and surface properties. It examines applications ranging from environmental pollutant remediation to hydrogen production and carbon dioxide conversion. By showcasing cutting-edge research in nanomaterials for photocatalysis, this Special Issue aims to deepen the understanding of fundamental principles and practical challenges, paving the way for novel solutions to global energy and environmental issues.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
