Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Active metal is a key component of the heterogeneous catalyst. The particle size and chemical state of the active sites play the remarkable role in reaction performance, including conversion, selectivity and stability. Recently, a series of strategies have been developed to regulate the metal catalysts, and a series of the novel catalysts have been emerged, such as single atom, cluster and nanoparticle catalysts. Simultaneously, it is crucial to discuss the metal-support interaction and support effects on active metal size distribution and chemical state. Additionally, in-situ characterization techniques are needed to unravel the influences of the catalyst structure and surface properties on reaction performance, as well as the reaction mechanism. This Special Issue will highlight the deep insights into the new strategies to design the efficient and robust metal catalysts in heterogeneous system and the topics on the advanced techniques to decipher the structure-activity relationship are also included.

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).
