Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalysis lies at the heart of sustainable green chemistry, providing innovative pathways to reduce waste, enhance energy efficiency, and create cleaner chemical processes. This Special Issue is dedicated to advancing this critical field, showcasing cutting-edge research that addresses global challenges in environmental protection, renewable energy, and the synthesis of value-added products through sustainable means.
This collection is proudly launched in conjunction with the 4th International Electronic Conference on Catalysis Sciences (https://sciforum.net/event/ECCS2026, ECCS 2026), which will be held online from 22 to 24 September 2026. The conference serves as a dynamic platform for the global catalysis community to exchange pioneering ideas and foster collaboration.
While this issue is inspired by and welcomes contributions from participants of ECCS 2026, we also warmly encourage submissions from all researchers working in catalysis and Green Chemistry who are not attending the conference. Our goal is to compile a comprehensive, impactful volume that reflects the diverse, forward-thinking work driving the development of sustainable chemical technologies for a greener future.

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.
