From Design to Application of Nanomaterials in Catalysis

Dear Colleagues,

It is difficult to overestimate the role of catalysis in sustainable development. About 20% of the world economy is estimated to depend directly or indirectly on catalysis. Therefore, the intensive research into the development of new catalytic materials is not surprising. An important issue is to find ways of conducting catalytic processes in more cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. At the same time, the development of nanotechnology and the availability of various characterization techniques, as well as computational methods, offers the possibility of designing catalytic systems even at the molecular level. In this context, the elucidation of the interaction of the catalyst active sites with the support and promoters as well as with the substrates is essential.

The focus of this Special Issue is to bring up the latest achievements and results in the field of synthesis, characterization, and application of nanocatalysts.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
