Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalytic technology, as a green environmental protection technology, has received extensive attention and experienced rapid development. Especially in the application of environmental remediation, photocatalytic technology has become a global research hotspot. Solar energy is the power source of photocatalytic technology. Therefore, the development of photocatalytic technology to solve the energy crisis and environmental problems is very important.
Compared with the traditional physical, chemical, and biological treatment processes, photocatalytic technology has the characteristics of mild reaction conditions, strong degradation ability, and complete degradation of pollutants. At the same time, it has the advantages of simple operation, rapid reaction, and without secondary pollution. The development of highly efficient photocatalysts is the key to the development of photocatalysis.
At the same time, with the development of society, the impact of organic substances such as pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), antibiotics, and pesticides on the environment has gradually attracted extensive attention. Photocatalytic treatment of these organic polluted water bodies has high environmental application value. Therefore, the goal of this special issue is focused on the synthesis, physical and chemical properties of new photocatalysts and the degradation and removal of environmental organic pollutants.

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.
