Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photocatalysts and their photoelectrochemical reaction mechanisms have recently gained significant attention due to growing environmental awareness. These materials are crucial in applications such as energy conversion (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and methane production) and photoreactive purification processes.
The primary reason for their importance lies in their unique catalytic properties, including surface characteristics, optical absorption, crystalline structures, specific morphologies, and oxidation-reduction capabilities. As a result, photocatalysts hold great potential for future applications, particularly through the successful design of composite catalysts that exhibit improved efficiency, selectivity, and stable catalytic activity.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances in photocatalysts based on inorganic nanomaterials, with a focus on their use in industrial and acidic environments. We welcome a diverse collection of original research articles and comprehensive reviews

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. Inorganics 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.
