Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalysis is incredibly important for sustainable development, energy production, environmental protection, and water purification, among others, since almost 90% of the chemical products generated by the industry are obtained through catalytic processes. Carbon materials have attracted enormous interest as catalysts and catalyst support in different fields, owing to their outstanding chemical, mechanical, and thermal-stable properties. In addition, these materials can be very versatile since their properties can be modified, such as surface area and surface chemistry. However, some carbon-based catalysts can present disadvantages, such as preparation methods with low yield which it is necessary to optimize, or low catalytic activity and/or deactivation with reaction time.
This Special Issue is devoted to exploring new advances in synthesis methods, characterization, and applications for carbon-based catalysts. The aim is to compile the current state of knowledge and shows the path of current research in the field of carbon-based catalysts. Mainly, complete experimental studies of synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of catalytic activity will be of greater interest, focusing on a deep cause–effect study of the preparation method, the physical–chemical properties of the prepared catalysts, and their catalytic activity in interesting processes.

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.
