Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photo/electrocatalysis is a method of promoting chemical reactions using light energy or electrical energy, which has important application prospects in energy conversion and environmental protection. Designing and preparing highly efficient catalyst materials is a crucial step, which requires a deep understanding of catalytic reaction mechanisms and the interactions between substances on the surface, in order to find new materials that can improve catalytic activity and selectivity. At the same time, the development of advanced catalyst characterization techniques is also a key focus of current research. By using various advanced experimental techniques and analytical methods, a more comprehensive understanding of the role of the catalyst in the reaction process and its structural features can be obtained, providing strong support for optimizing the design of new high-efficiency catalysts.
This Special Issue will present the most recent and significant developments in novel high-efficiency catalyst materials and characterization techniques. Original papers on the above topics and short reviews are welcome 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 2200 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.
