Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, photocatalytic technology, including photocatalytic wastewater treatment, water splitting, reduction in CO2, and nitrogen fixation, has been widely studied. The photocatalytic system is mainly composed of photoelectrodes (photoanodes or photocathodes), counter electrodes, electrolytes, and external circuits. The most important factor affecting photoelectrocatalytic efficiency is electrode material. To date, various materials have been used as electrodes, such as transition metal sulfides, metal oxides, and metal–organic frameworks. Although polymer-based electrode material has also been reported, its performance needs to be further improved. Therefore, it is necessary to combine conductive polymers with other nanomaterials and then use them for photoelectrocatalytic applications.

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. Polymers 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 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.
