Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Noble metal nanocatalysts have been widely used in the field of catalysis, and their catalytic performance depends on their physical/chemical parameters. Their controlled synthesis strategies and performance relationships have attracted attention, while the internal mechanism of their catalytic performance and stability is also of great significance for the design of nanocatalysts. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the latest experimental and simulation methods, starting from the microscopic mechanism of nanocatalysts, and then controlling the influencing factors such as surface morphology, composition and size in experiments, to provide the latest solutions and specific examples for performance optimization.

This Special Issue "Noble-Metal Nanocatalysis: State of the Art and Future Challenges" focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, application and mechanistic analysis of noble-metal nanocatalysts. All research (experimental and theoretical) within the scope of this Special Issue, including original research and review articles, short communications and opinion pieces, are invited for submission.

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.

Graphene is regarded as a potential co-photocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution, but its great photocatalytic ability requires tuning the band gap structure or design morphology of composites. In this study, MoS2/TiO2/graphene (MTG) nanohybrids were fabricated at varied ratios of graphene and served as co-photocatalysts for H2 evolution. The results exhibited that the H2 evolution of MTG-10 obtained is much better than others. The amount of hydrogen evolution was high, which was found to be 4122 μmol g−1 of H2 in 5 h with photocatalytic systems, which is almost 7.5~13.4 times greater than that of previous pristine MoS2 (548 μmol g−1) and TiO2 (307 μmol g−1) samples, respectively. This is significantly attributed to the graphene as a bridge of MoS2/TiO2 and the incorporation of graphene, suggesting the synergistic effect of the rapid electron-transferring of photoinduced electrons and holes and the powerful electron-collecting of graphene, suppressing the charge recombination rate.
