Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
FMSDG-2026 (9–10 April 2026; Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, India) brings together scientists, academicians, industry professionals, and young researchers to discuss next-generation materials and catalytic solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This Special Issue welcomes high-quality original research and review articles on sustainable catalysis and catalytic materials spanning green synthesis of functional nanomaterials, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, biomass and waste-to-value conversion, CO2 capture and utilization, corrosion protection, and catalytic routes for clean water and clean energy. Contributions that connect advanced characterization, mechanistic insights, and scalable processes with real-world environmental remediation and energy applications are especially encouraged.

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.
