Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalysis has undergone significant advancements since the 1950s. Numerous sophisticated tools and concepts have enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms governing catalytic reactions. Today, one of the primary challenges for scientists is to develop new reaction pathways that are efficient in terms of atom economy, reaction steps, energy consumption, waste reduction, and increased selectivity and safety. Catalysis is crucial in the development of these new reaction paths, necessitating highly skilled professionals who can understand the principles and tools required to bridge the gap between laboratory research and industrial applications. In pursuit of this goal, the catalysis training course Elitecat 2024 (https://elitecat2024.univ-lyon1.fr/en) will be held from July 8th to 12th, 2024, at the LyonTech La Doua scientific campus in Villeurbanne, France. The course will cover the latest developments in the field of catalysis; key procedures for preparing, characterizing, and testing catalysts for various applications; tools for establishing kinetic models; and the types of reactors used for catalytic reactions.
The thematic Special Issue "New Trends in Catalysis: ELITECAT 2024" will encompass all the latest advancements in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Topics will include recent developments in the synthesis of catalytic materials and catalyst characterization. It will also cover kinetics, mechanisms, reactivity, and modeling, as well as transport processes in reactions catalyzed by solids and process simulation. Additionally, the issue will feature ab initio calculations and the simulation of complex catalytic systems, valorization of CO2, biomass valorization, alternative fuels, life cycles of materials, and research data exploitation and management.

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.
