Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Murray Raney used Nickel for the first time as a hydrogentation catalyst over one century ago. Since then, the field of Nickel catalysis has seen tremendous advances. During the 1970s, Nickel found extensive use as a catalyst not only for cross-coupling reactions of alkenes/alkynes, such as nucleophilic allylation, oligomerization, and cycloisomerization, etc., but also for C/H activation, oxidative cyclidation, and reduction reactions. More recently, it has been used in the formulation of catalysts assessing important environmental issues, such as CO2 chemical utilization, or as dopant of molybdenum, sulfide-containing catalysts for desulfuration processes.
Several key properties of nickel such as its thermal stability and redox behavior mean Nickel-containing catalysts are still challenging for a very large range of innovative reaction developments and industrialization.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to update the most recent advances concerning Nickel catalysts, supported or not, for innovative reaction development.

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.
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.
