Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Guest Editors, we are pleased to announce this Special Issue, entitled "Mechanochemistry and Mechanocatalysis". We aim to shed light on the transformative role of mechanical forces in driving chemical reactions and catalytic processes. This Special Issue aims to feature groundbreaking research that demonstrates how mechanical energy can replace conventional methods to induce chemical transformations. By bringing together innovative studies on the synthesis of novel materials, the elucidation of reaction mechanisms, and the development of efficient mechanocatalytic systems, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of mechanochemistry and mechanocatalysis, fostering progress in this exciting field. A wide range of applications—from sustainable synthesis to advanced materials science—are expected to be covered by this Special Issue, which will certainly highlight how mechanochemical methods can enhance reaction efficiency, selectivity, and environmental sustainability. Hopefully, this Special Issue will be a valuable resource for researchers exploring the potential of mechanical forces in chemical innovation.
If you would like to submit papers for publication in this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house Editor, Mr. Ives Liu (ives.liu@mdpi.com).

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.
