Catalysts | Top Cited Papers Published in 2023–2024 in the “Catalytic Materials” Section


Catalysts
(ISSN: 2073-4344) has launched the Section “Catalytic Materials”. Catalytic materials exist in several forms and can be prepared using various methods involving different schemes and protocols. They can also be applied in many fields, such as environmental and sustainable catalysis, biomass valorization, renewable fuels production, CO2 recycling, synthetic chemistry, gas storage/capture, drug delivery, catalysis, photocatalysis, chemical sensing, etc. The present Section on catalytic materials aims to advance our understanding of heterogeneous catalysis, offering a comprehensive investigation of physicochemical properties, catalytic application, and the structure–activity relationship.

As they are of open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full text of all the articles published in our journal. We welcome you to read our top cited papers published in 2023 and 2024:
