Support Effect in Liquid Phase Reactions

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will highlight the role of the support in metal catalyzed liquid phase reactions, including oxidation, hydrogenation and CC-coupling reactions. Supporting materials have been recognized as playing an important role in tuning the activity, selectivity and stability of supported metal nanoparticles. Indeed, the support properties can tune the interaction with the metallic particles dispersed on, or in it, thus modifying both the catalysts’ electronic and structural properties. In addition, the support can also provide different anchoring sites for the reactants, acting as an active and sometimes reactive surface.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
