TiO2-Based Nanomaterials for Advanced Environmental and Energy-Related Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Titania has been used as one of the highly stable and UV-active photocatalysts for the decomposition of harmful organic waste and for the generation of electricity in many studies. The power generation frequently employs the titania photoanodes of photovoltaic cells, such as solar or photofuel cells. Therefore, titania should be a model photocatalyst for studies on its development and for the creation of new photocatalysts exhibiting a high performance. The titania structure and morphology should be investigated for the improvement of such functions in the context of the previous successful results of the titania studies. Effective adsorption, oxidation, and reduction are required for a high photocatalytic performance. The catalytic activity, absorptivity, and connectivity of a material surface can be improved by surface modification. Such technologies are applicable for creating new functional materials and for advancing their functions for development in various fields. In the future, visible-light driven photocatalysts can be developed based on the titania studies. In this regard, we invite authors to submit original research articles on titania-based nanomaterials for advanced environmental and energy-related applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
