Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to sustainable catalytic processes is essential to address global energy, environmental, and climate challenges. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances that bridge catalyst design with catalytic reactor engineering to develop sustainable chemical or biological processes. We welcome contributions that explore the full spectrum, from the design, development, and evaluation of catalysts to the scale-up of catalytic reactors. Both experimental and theoretical studies are encouraged. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for cross-disciplinary research that combines catalysis, reaction engineering, and process system engineering to foster innovation in sustainble technologies.
The upcoming Special Issue will feature selected works presented at the International Energy Conference (IEC) 2025, to be held in Mexico City, Mexico, and the International Conference on Mathematics in (bio/food) Chemical Kinetics and Engineering (MaCKiE) 2025, to be held in Izmir, Turkey. This Special Issue will also welcome additional high-quality contributions in related fields, with a focus on innovative research at the intersection of sustainability, chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, food engineering, experimentation, and mathematical modeling.

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.
