Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysis is a highly attracting process with multiple applications, especially in the field of pollution removal and fuel production. The major global issues today are those concerned with the treatment of wastewater from various industries, and also a guaranteed supply of clean energy. For these reasons, study and investigations on advanced multifunctional materials for water purification, at low cost and with less energy, and advanced photocatalytic materials for the production of clean energy by photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic water splitting.
The aim of this special issue focuses on their novel photocatalytic materials synthesis, properties and discussions on their fundamental principles and application achievements in energy fields. The following topics are emphasis:
- Morphology dependent and facet-designed photocatalytic materials
- Surface modification and doping of photocatalytic materials
- Novel and green synthesis of photocatalytic materials
- Photocatalytic Wastewater treatment and environmental remediation
- Photocatalytic hydrogen/oxygen evolution and water splitting
- Photocatalytic CO2 reduction
- Photoelectrochemistry of photocatalytic materials
This special issue will highlight and attract world-leading researcher in the area of photocatalysts for energy and environmental research by publishing high quality, original contributions in these application areas.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
