Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has been more than half a century since it was discovered that the TiO2 electrode could perform photocatalytic water splitting by one of the editors, Akira Fujishima. Since then, extensive research has been carried out on TiO2 photocatalysts, which have exhibited remarkable potential in various fields, such as environmental remediation, antibacterial and antiviral applications, artificial photosynthesis, and more. TiO2 photocatalysts and their applications continue to advance rapidly, with new discoveries and innovations emerging every day.
We invite you to submit your papers to this Special Issue of Catalysts, which aims to showcase the latest developments and achievements related to TiO2 photocatalysts. We are especially interested in papers that discuss details and challenges regarding the design and optimization processes, as they are crucial for the effective application of TiO2 photocatalysts in various domains.
In addition, we also encourage papers that explore the synergistic effects of TiO2 photocatalysts with other technologies, such as a combination of ozone or other oxidizing agents, photoelectrochemical energy storage and conversion, digital transformation and artificial intelligence, etc. These technologies could enhance the performance and functionality of TiO2 photocatalysts, as well as address the challenges and issues associated with their social implementation. We hope to stimulate not only academic discussions, but also the industrial application of TiO2 photocatalysts.
The submission deadline is December 30, 2024. Please follow the journal's guidelines for authors and submit your manuscripts online. We look forward to receiving your contributions and sharing your insights with the scientific community.

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.
