Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The unusual size-/surface-dependent properties of nanomaterials open up new frontiers in materials science, allowing to design advanced catalysts and electrocatalysts. Several strategies are currently considered to improve catalytic activity, such as support change, morphology, size control or alloy catalysts, which modify chemical binding of reactive intermediates on the catalyst surface. Chemical functionality can also alter electronic structures to optimize the coordination environment of the active centers in the catalysts and improve the intermediate adsorption/desorption on the interface. The main focus of this Special Issue is to cover recent progress and trends in designing, synthesizing, characterizing, and evaluating advanced nanomaterials to generate catalysts and electrocatalysts for sustainable applications.

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.
