Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalysis is at the core of chemistry, involving the highly efficient controllable transformation of substance, and has received increasing attention in the emerging field of energy conversion. The reaction activity and selectivity can be strongly affected by the properties of solid catalysts, and the durability and cost of catalysts are also important to the practicability of catalytic reactions. There is no doubt that developing novel solid catalysts is a major task within various thermo-, photo- and electro-chemical catalytic reactions. In the past decades, beyond traditional metal catalysts, carbon catalysts and other inorganics, various novel materials, including single-atom catalysts, metal cluster catalysts, high-entropy catalysts, etc., have been utilized in catalysis, showing inspiring performance and contributing to the revealing of novel mechanisms. Despite this progress, the rational design, controllable fabrication, structure characterization, active site identification and mechanism understanding still remain challenging. This Special Issue aims to include original research or review articles related to novel catalytic materials, covering material designs, theoretical calculations and engineered applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
