With the current development of materials science and engineering, many different cost-effective and high-quality materials have come into use in various applications. Nowadays, the materials became multi-functional and required improvements and optimizations in their characteristics. The development of the structure of the material, adapted to each new application, needs the understanding of base matter characteristics, the changes in the microstructure and characteristics of the material during forming processes. Thus, this volume of the journal “Material Science Forum” presents to readers the 1st special issue from the series “Current Advances in Materials Applications,” which contains articles covering different aspects of the research the properties of the materials and methods their applications.

The Special Topic Volume is a result from the contribution of forty-one experts from the international scientific community in the respective field of research. It thoroughly covers recent work done in the area of photocatalysis. In recent year a boosting interest in the exploration of renewable energy sources and environmental abatement attracted the promises of photocatalysis particularly in hydrogen production by water splitting, storage of solar energy in sustainable chemical fuels, decomposition and removal of environmental pollutants and disinfection of water. Current environmental concern promises a bright future for this technology, particularly applications to improving the quality of water and of indoor and outdoor air. This volume provides the latest and in-depth coverage to photocatalytic materials and surfaces including their various applications for environmental and energy applications.
