Heterogeneous Catalysts: Synthesis and Application

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue will focus on controllable catalyst synthesis with detailed preparation method and procedure thus repeatable by readers, and perfectly with clear characterizations for the structure aiming in atomic levels. It is very encouraging to have theoretical calculation such as DFT to guide the catalyst design. Therefore, basic structure-performance relationship may be set up based on the investigation results.

For application, the catalyst stability and selectivity will be emphasized although activity is still important. It will be excellent if the upstream e.g., feedstock availability and treatments and downstream processes analysis are included in the catalyst developments. Synthesis, development and application of catalyst, fine chemicals are encouraging.

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.
