Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-support interactions play important roles in the physicochemical properties and catalytic behaviors of heterogeneous catalysts. Stabilized metals supported on nanomaterials have been used as a catalyst for many key industrial reactions. Engineering the coordinative environment of the metals and supports is one of the few strategies to promote the reactivity, selectivity, and stability of the catalysts. Therefore, this topic has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This special issue is opened as a platform for discussion and updating the recent advances on:
- theoretical studies on rational designs of supported metal catalysts
- synthesis strategies to achieve supported metal catalysts with well-defined active sites
- advanced characterizations to identify the nature of metal-support sites and their roles in catalytic behaviors
- insightful mechanism studies occurring on the metal-support sites
- state-of-the-art catalysts with high performance and stability
Nanoparticles, clusters, as well as single-atom metals supported on various types of nanomaterials, which are used as a photo-, thermal-, and electrochemical catalysis for energy and environmental applications are welcome to participate in this issue.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
