Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Society is facing a cohort of energy-transition-related challenges—for example, a shift in the gravity of the world market, increasing urbanization of developing countries, the nanoplastics crisis, electrification, and man-made climate change. These challenges will inevitably change the product slate of the chemical industry and, as such, the requirements of catalysis, which are involved in approximately 90% of all chemical reactions. Breakthrough technologies are needed to shape a new age of not only our energy and materials supplies but also a new age of doing research. Characterization tools with increasingly improved spatial and/or time resolution, the handling and analysis of immense amounts of data, intelligent experimental design, and laboratory automatization and characterization are examples of characterization tools that will aid the design and synthesis of the novel materials and catalysts that are necessary to overcome the variety of challenges that society faces.

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. Physchem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
