Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, catalysts containing two or more metals have attracted great attention for different heterogeneous catalytic applications. Of various catalytic applications, oxidation and reduction are the two main processes in converting under-functionalized and over-functionalized starting materials in various fields, such as biomass valorization and fine chemical industry.
In this view, advanced catalytic systems containing dual active composites provide many advantages with enhanced surface properties that offer improved activity and stability of the systems for various catalytic processes that involves redox catalytic processes. Although research on redox catalysis using bimetallic composites has been progressing at a rapid pace, there is still significant room for improvements to investigate structure–activity relationships to further modify catalyst composition and catalytic properties and metal/metal–oxide interactions in order to design more stable and active systems. Hence, processing structure–function relationships is crucial for their future development as innovative bimetallic composite systems.
Therefore, this Special Issue will address the abovementioned points in relation to synthesis, characterization, and catalytic evolution of novel bimetallic nanocomposites that offer new improvements and insights into various oxidation and reduction catalytic processes.
