Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Selective oxidation is an important class of chemical reactions that holds a crucial position within today’s chemical industry processes. In recent years, significant advances have been made in this field, and new trends have subsequently emerged.
The development and application of selective oxidation catalysts are key processes within this field. The rapid development of controllable synthesis and characterization techniques for catalytic new materials, such as single atoms, diatoms, clusters, etc., has provided an important foundation for the design and preparation of selective oxidation catalysts with spatially separated active centers. Additionally, the progress in the development of several other new catalytic materials has brought new insights and breakthroughs regarding the catalytic selective oxidation process.
Photocatalysis or electrocatalysis methods offer new opportunities in the field by generating highly reactive oxygen species or directly activating reactants under mild conditions. The introduction of photocatalytic and electrocatalytic systems has facilitated the construction of new selective oxidation systems.
Ideas such as replacing organic peroxides with air/oxygen/hydrogen peroxide as oxidants and replacing organic solvents with water have become major trends in selective oxidation catalysis research. Selective oxidation of low-carbon hydrocarbons such as methane, epoxidation of propylene, phenol production from benzene, and selective oxidation of biomass represent the most challenging problems in this field.

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.
