Design, Synthesis, and Modification of Efficient Catalyst Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, the scientific community has been placing increasing emphasis on the introduction of innovative catalyst-based technologies to improve environmental quality. The synthesis and appropriate characterization of new materials make it possible, among other things, to use them in photocatalytic processes, in biological products, or to obtain high-value chemicals. Because of the above, scientists are interested in obtaining the appropriate surface modification of materials.

This Special Issue focuses on the design, synthesis, and modification of catalyst materials at the molecular level. And recent developments in synthesizing, functionalizing, and applying effective porous materials in catalytic processes, including zeolites, mesoporous materials, and so on, the emphasis is on research at the mechanism and molecular levels. These materials are of interest because of their wide variations in chemical composition and methods of obtaining them, as well as their potential applications.

We cordially encourage you to submit research articles and reviews for this Special Issue to share your work, knowledge, insights, and recent accomplishments.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
