Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supported catalysts exhibit superior stability, recyclability, and tunable reactivity compared to homogeneous systems, playing a pivotal role in advancing sustainable chemical processes. This Special Issue, "Synthesis and Characterization of Supported Catalysts", aims to compile cutting-edge research in the design, preparation, and mechanistic understanding of supported catalytic materials for energy and environmental applications, bridging fundamental science with industrial scalability. Its scope encompasses the following: novel synthetic strategies (e.g., single-atom catalysts, nanocluster deposition, and bifunctional metal oxide composites), advanced characterization techniques (in situ/operando spectroscopy, IR, XPS, XRD, TEM, and TPR/TPD), and their applications in key catalytic reactions such as CH activation/the functionalization of hydrocarbons, biomass conversion, electrocatalytic water splitting or CO2 reduction, thereby integrating fundamental research with industrial applicability.
We would like to invite you to submit original research papers, short reviews or communications to this Special Issue, considering the importance of supported catalysts in the field of green chemistry, efficiency, sustainability, and the environment.

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.
