New Insights into Heterogeneous Catalysis

Dear Colleagues,

Heterogeneous catalysis is the basis of more than 90% of industrial chemical processes, and it played an important role in the development of modern chemistry in the last century. A new golden age has recently begun, thanks to its fundamental role in the development of sustainable and green chemistry. Furthermore, advanced characterization tools have allowed boosting the fundamental understanding of catalytic functions.

This Special Issue aims to collect either original research articles or reviews on new aspects and approaches in heterogeneous catalysis. Every target reaction can be of interest, provided that a clear evidence of new methodologies and concepts is presented. The attention should focus preferentially on process development, i.e., contributions on catalytic process design, scale-up issues (including catalysts forming and deactivation/regeneration problems), kinetics, catalytic reactors design and modeling, and economic sustainability, are particularly welcome.

We hope that you will contribute to this issue sharing your valuable expertise.

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.
