Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous catalysis is an important process in the synthesis of many key products, such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. In addition, heterogeneous catalysis for sustainable energy and environmental applications also receives much attention. This Special Issue focuses on heterogeneous catalysis, which contains both theoretical and practical applications in this emerging academic and industrial field. The characterization of innovative catalysts and the in situ identification of reaction mechanisms and limiting steps are welcome. Special attention will be paid to the heterogeneous catalysts synthesized via green processes and using renewable resources.
The potential topics include, but not limited to:
- Green Processes for the Synthesis of Novel Heterogeneous Catalysts;
- Characterization and Mechanisms of Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactions;
- Heterogeneous Photocatalysts: From Fundamentals to Innovative Applications;
- Heterogeneous Catalysts from renewable resources for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Protection;
- Advances in Heterogeneous Catalysis and Electrocatalysis.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
