Catalysis on Zeolites and Zeolite-Like Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Catalysts plans to publish a Special Issue entitled “Catalysis on Zeolites and Zeolite-Like Materials”. The first use of zeolite catalysts occurred 60 years ago when researchers of Union Carbide Corp. tested zeolite Y as an isomerization catalyst. The followed introduction of zeolite-based catalysts in fluid catalytic cracking processes remains the largest application of zeolites in catalysis. Over the past decades progress in zeolite synthesis enabled the discovery of new zeolite types, which allowed for the development of new catalytic processes in petrochemical industries. Moreover, new tools for zeolite modification allowed for additional applications of zeolite-based catalysts in the field of environmental catalysis. The development of new mesoporous and micro/mesoporous or zeolite-like materials, such as metal–organic frameworks, as well as progress in computational chemistry and solid state characterization techniques demonstrated that the potential of ordered pore materials is still far from exhausted, and that further biocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and micro/nanostructure technology indicate increasing interest in this class of substances.

With great pleasure, I invite you to submit your manuscript to the Special Issue “Catalysis on Zeolites and Zeolite-Like Materials”, to share developments and recent progress regarding the synthesis, characterization and application of zeolites or zeolite-like materials as catalysts.

Prof. Dr. Wladimir Reschetilowski

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-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.
