Call for papers

Environmentaland energy problems have raised extensive concerns in the past decades. Photocatalysis is the acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst. In photocatalytic activities, the catalyst absorbs light, creating electron-hole pairs, which can finally generate free radicals and lead to oxidation of pollutants and kill germs in water. In recent years,nanostructured photocatalysts have been intensively investigated as they aremore efficient than bulk materials. The synthesis, properties, and applicationsof the nanostructured photocatalysts have been intensivelyinvestigated, but emerging interests are coming out at the same time. Moreover,higher efficiency over that of current photocatalysts is still required. At thesame time, the ever-increasing demand for alternative energy strategies to fossil fuels has motivated considerable efforts to develop various power/energy conversionand storage systems. Recent advances in nanomaterials have produced some technological breakthroughs in various energy storage/conversion. A demonstration that new energy canbe generated, transported, and stored by applying new materials and nanostructures is of great importance in both scientific research and practicalapplications.It is therefore urgently and significantly to have a special issue on new advances and toreview recent progresses of nanostructured materials for applications inphotocatalysis and electrochemistry. This special issue focuses on but is notlimited to the following topics:

·Novel nanostructured materials for photocatalytic applications;

·Photocatalytic watersplitting;

·Novel electrode materials for supercapacitors and Li ion batteries;

·Recent advancement in piezoelectric/triboelectric materials and devices

·Solar energy related cells, such as solar cells,photoelectrochemical cells;
