Potential New Micro/Nano Catalysts Applied for Sustainable Chemical and Biological Processes

Dear Colleagues,

The research fields of new sustainable processes and the replacement of non-renewable sources/materials with renewable ones are gaining major importance on a global scale, regarding the main goals of sustainable development, mainly in the industrial and transportation sectors.

New green technological processes (thermochemical, biochemical and electrochemical) using biocatalysts or new micro-/nanocatalysts are the focus of this Special Issue.

This Special Issue will present the most recent and significant developments related to new sustainable materials (catalysts, raw materials, etc.), as well as new sustainable processes, suitable for green chemistry purposes, with potential industrial applications. Renewable energy resources, including biomass compounds and biomaterials, are also relevant for this Special Issue. Original papers on the above topics and short reviews are welcome for submission.

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.
