Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to invite you to contribute to an upcoming Special Issue celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Catalysts! As we mark this significant milestone, we are particularly focused on the pivotal role that catalysis will play in sustainability and green chemistry in the coming decades. This Special Issue, organized by members of the Catalysts Editorial Board, will highlight advancements in catalysis that directly address global environmental challenges. We welcome manuscripts that explore innovative catalytic solutions for a more sustainable future, including, but not limited to, eco-friendly catalytic processes for efficient and waste-reducing synthesis, novel catalysts for renewable energy production and storage, sustainable polymerization techniques and the development of circular polymers, mechanistic insights into catalytic reactions, catalysis for pollution prevention and remediation, and bio-inspired and biocatalytic approaches for sustainable chemical transformations. To achieve the widest possible impact, we strongly encourage submissions from a diverse array of authors. We also invite you to reach out to colleagues and collaborators who are leaders in these critical areas. We look forward to receiving your contributions and jointly shaping the future of catalysis to create a healthier planet.

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.
