Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a range of selected contributions on both natural and synthetic zeolites, mesoporous materials, and hierarchical systems for biocatalysis (supported enzymes), heterogeneous catalysis, and sustainable applications.
Porous materials are particularly interesting for the immobilization of enzymes and cells. Then, it is possible to design promising biocatalytic systems. Similarly, micro- and mesoporous materials can be used to prepare heterogeneous catalysts with highly dispersed active sites, such as the Single-Site Heterogeneous-Catalysts proposed by Sir John Meurig Thomas, that are the inorganic analogues of enzymes.
On the other hand, zeolites and related materials are effective for a large number of environmental and sustainable processes, including wastewater treatment, capture and storage of gases, development of sustainable agriculture, etc. Therefore, we strongly encourage researchers and scientists, from academia and industry, to submit their scientific work for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
