Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber catalysts, including fiber-supported catalysts, nanofiber catalysts, and monolithic fiber structure catalysts (e.g., paper-type catalysts), possess notable advantages such as low density, short diffusion lengths, large geometric surface areas, and high contact efficiencies. Consequently, they have garnered significant attention for their broad applications in energy and environmental catalysis, including fuel cells, volatile organic compound (VOC) treatment, nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction, and soot elimination. Nevertheless, to meet the practical demands of fiber catalysts in real-world applications, it is crucial to develop more efficient structure–function integrated fiber materials that fully exploit the synergistic interactions between carriers and active components. Furthermore, systematic investigation into the mechanisms underlying the stability enhancement of fiber catalysts is necessary.

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.
