Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation of organic chemicals enjoys fast development now and great achievements have been made over the past few decades. Photocatalysts, as the core of photocatalytic system, have been tremendously studied. Various methods to prepare photocatalysts have been developed for changing the photoelectrochemical characteristics and improving the photocatalytic activity. In this way, a great number of new photocatalysts have been prepared. The present review paper seeks to offer an overview of different preparation methods of new photocatalysts. The impacts of preparation methods on the physicochemical properties of photocatalysts are mentioned as well. Moreover, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. The most commonly used photocatalysts are introduced firstly. Secondly, we divide all of the methods into physical and chemical preparation methods with each subdivided not strictly. The principle and main process of each method are described. Finally, we provide some comparisons offered by researchers among different preparation methods.

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
