Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A metal–organic framework (MOF) is a kind of organic–inorganic porous material composed of organic ligands and metal centers with crystalline morphology. MOF-derived carbon-based materials can selectively confine metals of different sizes by adjusting their synthesis strategy. Therefore, MOFs and MOF-derived carbon-based materials have been widely applied in various catalytic reactions via optimizing synthesis strategies.
Given the continuous advancements in this area and, as a consequence, the new challenges that are being faced, a focus on this matter is necessary. The main aim of this Special Issue is to highlight novel developed MOF's and MOF-derived carbon-based materials strategies that are designed to promote catalysis and related areas. Therefore, original research papers and reviews providing new insights into this area are welcome.

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 2200 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.
