Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energy production through the use of photo(electro)catalysts (photocatalysts (PCs), electrocatalysts (ECs) and photo(electro)catalysts (PECs)), presenting with less environmental impacts, could solve the current air pollution and global warming issues associated with conventional energy production via fossil fuel combustion. Photo(electro)catalysts have recently attracted great interest due to their potential for reducing environmental pollutants (e.g., CO2, NOx, etc.) and producing sustainable energy resources, such as H2, O2 and H2O2. Much effort has been devoted to regulating components, phases, crystallinity, facets, morphology and defects for optimizing electronic structures for improved photo(electro)catalytic activity. However, the development of low-cost and efficient photo(electro)catalysts is still a great challenge.
This Special Issue aims to cover the most recent advances in the development of photo(electro)catalysts (PCs, ECs and PECs) for efficient and selective photo(electro)catalysis. This includes, but is not limited to, the design, synthesis and characterization of photocatalyst, photo(electro)catalytic and electrocatalytic nanomaterials.
We are also more than honored to announce that the Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Zohreh Masoumi (from University of Ulsan, Korea) will be participating in this Special Issue.
Dr. Meysam Tayebi

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
