Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an ever-increasing demand to catalyze reactions with optimal porosity and functional groups. This is a crucial aspect of heterogeneous catalysis of porous solids. Porosity is a general concept that has different meanings depending on the context. Optimal porosity offers many challenges; in particular, to couple the required porosity with the reactions conditions to perform the desired transformation. A number of porous materials have been identified as heterogeneous catalysts, such as microporous compounds (zeolites, MOFs and zeotypes), mesoporous and macroporous materials (such as mesostructured silicas, mesoporous zeolites, aluminas, among others). These materials, in combination with additional functionalities, can be employed to catalyze transformations of existing petrochemical feedstocks, and more recently, have opened new routes of sustainable feedstocks, mostly from biomass.
The aim of this Special Issue is to cover promising research and novel trends in the field of porous materials in catalysis; in particular, looking into the role of the prosody on activity, selectivity, and stability of petrochemical- or bio-based transformations. This will provide an understanding of the role of porosity with the reactions conditions and feedstock.

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.
