Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a result of millions of years of successive improvement through natural selection, nature provides solutions to overcome the activation energy in multiple biochemical processes under mild conditions. Chemists found inspiration in natural life to design new highly efficient catalysts, which also satisfy further demands, such as selectivity or sustainability. Biomimetic catalysts are used in a variety of industrial and synthetic processes ranging from biomedicine to energy, including solar fuels production, enantioselective epoxidations, Diels–Alder cycloadditions, peroxide activation, etc.
This Special Issue will cover recent progress and developments in the creation of bioinspired materials for catalysis. It is, therefore, our pleasure to invite you to contribute with a high-quality short communication, research paper, or a comprehensive review addressing novel and state-of-art topics in biomimetic catalysts.
This Special Issue will also contain accepted papers presented during Future Materials 2020. The Future Materials 2020 (https://materialsconference.yuktan.com/) will be held in the Lisbon, Portugal, February 26-28, 2020.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
