Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous catalysis plays a crucial role in many industrial processes (e.g., chemical, fuel, and material production) due to its high efficiency and low cost. In recent years, the development of novel catalysts, including nano- and single-atom catalysts, has facilitated the optimization of industrial catalytic processes. These catalysts offer higher activity and selectivity with less metal usage than traditional catalysts due to their high atom efficiency and unique electronic and geometric properties.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments in nano-catalysts and single-atom catalysts, as well as their applications in industrial catalytic processes. We hope this Special Issue will provide insights into the latest advances in heterogeneous catalysis and inspire new ideas for developing more efficient and sustainable catalytic systems for industrial processes.

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.
