Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extensive research has been conducted on the development of photocatalytic and electrocatalytic water splitting systems in response to increased demand for clean and renewable energy. Many studies have contributed to the development of high-efficiency photocatalysts and electrocatalysts with high activity and stability. Novel catalytic systems have also been developed to couple hydrogen production with organic oxidation reactions as an alternative to slow oxygen evolution reactions, though more in-depth studies of their mechanisms are required. Photo-assisted electrocatalytic systems are also being investigated beyond the traditional the use of photoelectrochemical cells. In order to highlight the most significant recent progress in this field, this Special Issue mainly focuses on the following topics:
- Photocatalysis for water splitting;
- Electrocatalysis for water splitting;
- Alternative organic reactions coupled with hydrogen production;
- Photo-assisted electrocatalytic systems for water splitting;
- Heterojunction photocatalysts and electrocatalysts with improved performance.

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.
