Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous photocatalysts that are based on nanocomposites have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential applications in various fields, such as environmental remediation, solar energy conversion, and water purification. The combination of different nanomaterials can create heterojunctions that enhance the photocatalytic properties of the composite and promote the separation of photoinduced charge carriers.
Nanocomposites-based photocatalysts can be synthesized using different methods, and their properties can be modified by adjusting the synthesis parameters, such as the nanoparticle size, shape, surface area, and composition. One of the main advantages of using photocatalysts is that they offer a green route for environmental pollution remediation. A wide range of pollutants can be effectively degraded by photocatalysts. Overall, heterogeneous photocatalysts based on nanocomposites have numerous benefits, including easy synthesis, tunable characteristics, and excellent photocatalytic performance. They have great potential to be used in various fields for solving environmental and energy-related issues.
This special issue welcomes submissions of original research-based articles and reviews that describe the manufacturing process, analytical description, and applications of photocatalysts based on nanocomposites.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
