Featured Reviews in Catalytic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue “Featured Reviews in Catalytic Materials”. Catalysis has a pivotal impact on various aspects of our daily lives, including drug synthesis, fuels and biofuels production, plastics manufacturing, the production of fertilizers and many more. It is estimated that over 90% of chemical products are nowadays manufactured using catalysts. Two of the most notable examples include the Haber–Bosch chemical process, helping feed the world’s population through the production of fertilizers, and the refinery chemical processes, responsible for production of gasoline, diesel and aviation fuels.

Today, catalysis also plays an essential role in environmental protection and renewable energy conversion, with notable examples being the three-way catalytic converters and the fuel cells, respectively. To secure a sustainable future for our society, there is an ever-growing demand for advanced catalytic materials. Thus, in this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute a review on the progress and advances in catalytic materials that have shaped today’s chemical industry and/or have the potential to make breakthroughs and unravel complex chemical processes that can take our society toward a cleaner, renewable and sustainable future.

Dr. Julia A. Valla

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
