Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, a plethora of new materials is available for photocatalysis, from carbon composites to nanotubes or nanorods of different compositions, graphene derivatives, modified clays, etc. These new materials have been designed for a variety of problems, many of which are associated, in one way or another, with environmental protection and/or remediation, i.e., to fix the numerous problems that human kind has created so far. A lot of effort, through many different synthesis and fabrication strategies, has been put into searching for stable and recyclable semiconductor materials that can capture sunlight for the photodegradation of persistent organic pollutants, for photoreduction of CO2, etc. The aim of this Issue is to compile a self-contained set of papers that can give a realistic picture of the current state-of-the-art in this cutting-edge field. These may be mini-reviews or research papers describing new breakthroughs in the field of photocatalysis.
All scientists in the field are cordially encouraged to submit their manuscripts for consideration for publication in this Special Issue.

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.
