Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanocatalysis provides many possibilities for chemical transformation, from chemical manufacturing to energy conversion and storage. So far, compared with homogeneous catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts often have the characteristics of easier recovery and reuse in the catalytic process, so it has received extensive research attention, and its application accounts for about 80% of the catalytic process.
In order to develop efficient heterogeneous catalysts, it is important to understand the basic properties of the active center, such as the electron effect induced by the doping of coordination elements and the interaction between the substrate and adsorbent. However, due to the limitations of currently available characterization techniques and the diversity of active sites in multiphase nanocatalysts, the lack of understanding of the control mechanisms of the catalytic process at the atomic level, obstacles to heterogeneous catalyst development have long existed. Heterogeneous catalysts are facing significant challenges in meeting sustainable social needs.

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.
