Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging materials for various applications in energy conversion and storage technologies, such as electrolyzers, batteries, fuel cells and environmental remedial technologies, including sensing, wastewater treatment, biodegradation, etc. MOFs and the derived nanomaterials have a unique morphology, physical and chemical properties, which endow them with broader application prospects. MOF-derived carbon nanomaterials are widely used in electro and photocatalysis (oxygen electrocatalysis, CO2 reduction reaction, water-splitting, etc.). Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on the versatile applications of MOFs and their derivatives in electro-photocatalysis. This Special Issue will cover the following related topics: i) MOF-based materials for electrocatalysis, including ORR, OER, HER, CO2RR and so on; ii) MOF derivatives for photocatalysis, including water splitting, CO2RR, energy conversion, and environmental remedies such as pollutant degradation, the disinfection of microbes, and fuel production; iii) synthesis and characterization of MOFs using state-of-the-art strategies to expand their application prospects in electro-photocatalysis; iv) practical application and analysis of different features, such as conductivity, catalytic activity and stability, and their degradation mechanism and mitigation strategies; v) scaleup synthesis of MOFs toward commercial 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 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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
