Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the latest advancements in the fields of zeolites synthesis, their characterization, and use in catalysis. Owing to their void structure and diverse framework types, zeolites exhibit unique physicochemical properties that make them highly suitable for catalytic processes. Whether through bottom-up or top-down synthesis strategies, zeolites play a crucial role in environmental and industrial catalysis.
Their channels and voids, represented by over 250 documented frameworks, allow for the intracrystalline transport, adsorption, and reaction of molecules. This structural versatility underpins their wide-ranging applications across various catalytic fields, including petrochemical processing, fine chemicals synthesis, biomass conversion, and CO2 (or C1) utilization.
This Special Issue of Materials aims to gather the newest research trends on zeolite synthesis and their post-synthesis modification. Reports exploring the characterization of the unique properties of zeolites and/or their potential applications in catalysis are also welcome. We invite you to submit original research papers, communications, or review papers related to these topics. We believe that this collection will significantly contribute to the ongoing developments in the field of zeolites.

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. 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.
