Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In light of the significant success of our prior Special Issue, “Green Chemistry and Catalysis”, we are pleased to announce its continuation. This new Special Issue underscores the pivotal role of catalysis in promoting sustainable chemical practices, an essential endeavor for our global community.
This Collection aims to highlight innovative research that responds to the pressing demand for environmentally sustainable chemical synthesis. We solicit submissions that illustrate how novel catalytic approaches might diminish waste, conserve energy, and harness renewable resources, thereby lessening the environmental impact of chemical processes.
We invite original research and review articles that investigate the following overarching themes, among others:
Sustainable Synthesis: Innovative catalytic pathways for organic transformations that emphasize atom economy, environmentally friendly solvents, and renewable feedstocks.
Next-Generation Catalysts: The design, development, and mechanistic comprehension of high-performance catalysts—be they homogeneous, heterogeneous, nano-, or bio-catalysts—that exhibit efficiency, selectivity, and environmental sustainability.
Energy-Driven Processes: Innovations in photocatalysis and electrocatalysis that utilize light and electrical energy to facilitate chemical reactions under mild circumstances.
Green Engineering: The utilization of alternate energy sources (e.g., microwaves, ultrasound, mechanochemistry) alongside catalysis to improve reaction efficiency and sustainability.
Environmental and Energy Applications: The application of catalytic technology for pollution prevention, remediation, and sustainable energy transformation.
This Special Issue will serve as a forum for researchers in chemistry and engineering to exchange insights and stimulate further innovation in the pursuit of a more sustainable chemical future.

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. 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.
