Green Chemistry and Catalysis

Dear Colleagues,

Special Issues dedicated to green chemistry and catalysis would provide an ideal platform on which to present the most recent developments, innovative methodologies, and noteworthy contributions in this field. The publication may include scholarly papers and review articles by prominent scientists and researchers engaged in the respective subject. Below are many prospective subjects that could be addressed in such a Special Issue:

1. Sustainable organic synthesis approaches focused on innovative strategies utilizing heterogeneous or homogeneous catalysis that reduce waste generation, utilize renewable resources, and apply environmentally friendly solvents.
2. The focus of this research is on the creation and improvement of green catalysts. This involves investigating the concepts behind their design and developing methods for synthesizing catalysts that are highly efficient, selective, stable, and ecologically friendly.
3. Exploring the application of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis in chemical reactions, highlighting the utilization of light or energy as the primary driving force. It also examines the potential of these processes for sustainable synthesis.
4. Green nanotechnology investigates the utilization of nanomaterials and nanocatalysts in green chemical applications, such as pollution remediation and energy conversion.
5. Progress in catalytic reaction mechanisms: exploring the underlying comprehension of catalytic reactions and mechanisms to facilitate the development of catalysts that are both more effective and discerning.

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 2700 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.
