Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar-driven conversion systems, such as photocatalysts suspension and photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices, serve as sustainable and environmentally benign platforms for the synthesis of solar fuels and fine chemicals, especially from the conversion of biomass and waste chemicals. Interfacing the light-absorbing material with a catalytic layer is essential to efficiently expedite the kinetics of reactions of interest and selectively convert the feedstocks into desired products.
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent advances in the development of photoelectrodes and electrocatalysts for efficient and selective photo-(electro-)catalysis. This includes but is not limited to (i) the design, synthesis, and characterization of photoelectrocatalytic and electrocatalytic materials, (ii) the fundamental study of the mechanism behind the photo-(electro-)catalysis process, and (iii) the niche applications of PEC devices, including solar fuels generation and reforming of biomass and waste chemicals.

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.
