Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Catalysis is a vital area of research that enhances chemical processes, improving efficiency and selectivity while minimizing environmental impact. This Special Issue of Catalysts, "Recent Developments in Catalysis in Brazil", invites contributions that explore the latest advancements in both traditional and biocatalysis within the Brazilian context. With its diverse scientific landscape and rich natural resources, Brazil is uniquely positioned to make significant contributions to the field of catalysis. We welcome submissions that investigate various aspects of catalytic science, including the development of novel catalysts, advancements in catalytic mechanisms, and applications across sectors such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and green chemistry. Contributions highlighting biocatalysis, particularly the use of enzymes in sustainable processes, are especially encouraged, as they represent a growing area of research and application in Brazil.

This Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of both fundamental studies and applied research, showcasing the breakthroughs and methodologies that are driving progress in catalysis. By sharing findings and experiences, we hope to foster collaboration and inspire further innovation in catalytic technologies, positioning Brazil as a key player in the global catalysis landscape.

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.
