Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, catalysts are involved in the production of ~90% of all industrial chemicals in the world. Among these, group 10 elements, including nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), and platinum (Pt), are among the few most commonly used transition metals in industrial catalysis for a variety of organic transformations, such as alkylation, arylation, cyclization, hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, oxidation, isomerization, cross-coupling, carbonylation, dehydration, cascade, radical reactions, etc. Pd is also widely used in laboratory practices. Ni is abundant but environmentally less desirable given its toxicity, while Pt, on the other hand, is environmentally desirable, but its rare abundance makes it an expensive alternative.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Group 10(Ni, Pd, Pt...)-Catalyzed Reactions” aims to cover the recent advances and significant developments in the exciting field of group 10(Ni, Pd, Pt...)-catalyzed chemical reactions. We welcome all kinds of high-standard research and review articles from academia, industries, and government agencies. Through this Special Issue, we hope to draw together contributors from multidisciplinary fields to stimulate the exchange of ideas and spread knowledge on the current capabilities and new possibilities for a sustainable future.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Experimental, theoretical, and computational research on process development and engineering;
- Integrated process design and scale-up;
- Process modeling, simulation, optimization, and control;
- Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyzed chemical reactions;
- Biomass valorization for commodity chemicals;
- C1 conversion and utilization;
- Electrocatalysis and photocatalysis with Ni, Pd, and Pt-based catalysts;
- Catalyst Design, Synthesis, and Characterization.

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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
