Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic oxidation processes involve partial or total oxidation reactions in either gas or liquid phase, which use catalytic materials for the production of energy and chemicals, as well as for de-pollution purposes. Some examples include the conversion of major air pollutants, such as CO, VOCs and NH3, the combustion of natural gas towards energy production, the production of various chemicals such as formaldehyde from methanol, the elimination of contaminants such as dyes and phenols in water decontamination processes, and electrocatalytic oxidation of compounds including water splitting.
Due to the increased environmental concerns, energy-efficient catalytic oxidation processes have to be promoted for a more sustainable future. Thus, it has become increasingly important to develop novel multifunctional materials—from design, synthesis and characterization through to application—that could function as oxidation catalysts in more environmentally-friendly processes. It is also imperative to continue improving the efficiency of the current processes themselves, be they redox, electrochemical or photochemical, through innovation in reaction engineering.
Based on the above considerations, submissions to this Special Issue are welcome in the form of original research papers, reviews, or communications that highlight promising recent research and novel trends including the design, synthesis, characterization and application of novel materials, new approaches in reaction engineering, as well as modelling of materials and reactions in the field of heterogeneous oxidative catalysis.

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.
