Photocatalysis is a central topic in chemistry because it enables light driven reactions and offers pathways for environmental remediation, energy conversion, and advanced materials design. Photocatalysts absorb light and generate electron-hole pairs that drive chemical transformations, making them valuable for degradation of pollutants, water treatment, and novel synthetic pathways.

This special issue welcomes high quality articles containing original research results and strong characterization. Submissions should focus on the synthesis of new inorganic photocatalysts, their properties, and applications. Manuscripts should emphasize novel aspects of theory or practice and demonstrate relevance to real world chemical challenges.

Authors should clearly describe synthesis routes, characterization data, and photocatalytic performance metrics. Comparative studies that evaluate catalysts under standardized conditions are encouraged. Provide details on light sources, irradiation conditions, and analytical methods used to assess performance.

Submissions should be written in clear English with structured headings and subheadings. Include appropriate references and ensure that figures and tables are labeled and described clearly.

Use standard chemical nomenclature and report yields, reaction conditions, and analytical data. If computational or mechanistic studies are included, specify models, software, and validation steps. Data Availability Statements are required for all submissions.

All submissions undergo peer review and accepted articles are published in Journal of New Developments in Chemistry (ISSN: 2377-2549). Authors should follow the Instructions for Authors and include a Data Availability Statement where applicable. APCs apply after acceptance according to journal policy.
