Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of the successful previous edition, entitled “Novel Nanocatalysts for Sustainable and Green Chemistry”. Building upon its strong impact, the second edition aims to highlight the most recent advances at the intersection of nanotechnology and environmentally responsible chemistry.
Nanocatalysts are increasingly being recognized as indispensable tools for enabling sustainable practices in chemical transformations. Through this Special Issue, we provide a platform for researchers to share their pioneering findings, innovative methodologies, and significant advancements in the design, development, and application of nanocatalysts with a dedicated focus on fostering green and sustainable chemistry.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis and advanced characterization of novel nanocatalysts;
- Catalytic processes enabling green and sustainable chemical transformations;
- Environmental impact, circular economy approaches, and life cycle assessment of nanocatalysts;
- Integration of nanotechnology in industrial processes for eco-friendly and energy-efficient production;
- Nanocatalysis driven by renewable energy sources (e.g., photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, plasma-assisted catalysis);
- Computational design, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in the development and optimization of nanocatalysts.
Contributions from diverse perspectives and research backgrounds are highly encouraged to foster a comprehensive understanding of this crucial field. We invite you to join us in shaping the future of sustainable chemistry by sharing your latest advances in this Special Issue. I look forward to receiving and showcasing your valuable contributions.
Dr. Elisabete C.B.A. Alegria

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.
