Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous catalysis plays an increasingly important role in the fields of organic synthesis, environmental protection, and energy conversion due to its high efficiency, reusability, and environmental friendliness. The performance of a heterogeneous catalyst is primarily related to the distribution of active sites on the catalyst surface, the metal–support interaction, the electronic state, and the physicochemical structure of the support.
Therefore, this Special Issue will collect studies on recent progress in heterogeneous catalysis focused on advances in design and application. This Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) Advances in the design of heterogeneous catalysts in relation to viable technologies;
(2) Advances in the application of heterogeneous catalysts in relevant technological fields;
(3) Mechanisms of relevant heterogeneously catalysed reactions in prominent technologies.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an original research or review article related to heterogeneous catalysis to this Special 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.
