Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water and wastewater contamination by toxic substances poses significant threats to human health and the environment. Photocatalytic oxidation has emerged as a promising technology to effectively remove these contaminants due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species that can degrade a wide range of pollutants. This Special Issue aims to present the latest advancements in photocatalytic oxidation processes, including novel materials, mechanisms, and applications. We invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that explore innovative approaches to enhance photocatalytic efficiency, elucidate reaction mechanisms through experimental, characterization, and computational methods, and address real-world challenges in water treatment. By sharing cutting-edge research, we hope to advance the field and contribute to sustainable water management strategies.

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. Toxics 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 2600 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.
