Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the global community has intensified its efforts to address environmental challenges, particularly in the context of climate change and sustainable development. China, as one of the world's largest economies and carbon emitters, has made significant commitments to reduce its carbon footprint and advance green technologies. Green photocatalysis, with its potential for sustainable energy production and environmental remediation, has emerged as a critical area of research and innovation in China. This Special Issue aims to highlight exclusive papers that showcase the latest advancements and breakthroughs in green photocatalysis within the Chinese research landscape. By focusing on this specific area, we seek to provide a platform for researchers to disseminate their findings, share the best practices, and contribute to the global knowledge base of sustainable energy and environmental technologies. The outcomes of this Special Issue will not only enrich the understanding of green photocatalysis but also contribute to the broader efforts of transitioning to a low-carbon and sustainable future. We cordially invite researchers and scholars to contribute their valuable insights and original research to this Special Issue. We encourage submissions that encompass a wide range of topics, including but not limited to semiconductor photocatalysts, visible light photocatalysis, environmental applications, the development of novel materials for green photocatalysis, and any other related subjects. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we aim to advance the field of green photocatalysis and support the global transition to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

We are looking forward to receiving the various research insights and results of this Special Issue and would sincerely appreciate your support and contribution. Your active participation and substantive inputs will be fundamental for the success of this Special Issue.

We look forward to your contributions and invite you to contribute your valuable research findings to this Special Issue.

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 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.
