Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalysis is a fundamental element in green chemistry, gaining significant attention across various fields, including organic, biological, and catalytic biomass conversion, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis. This Special Issue, titled “Nanomaterials in Electrocatalytic and Photocatalysis Applications,” focuses on recent advancements in catalysis research, particularly emphasizing the role of nanomaterials in emerging catalysis-driven fields. These include electrocatalytic and photocatalytic energy conversion, catalytic organic transformation, and biological catalysis processes. Industries are actively working to develop innovative catalysts that improve specific processes' efficiency and sustainability. In particular, heterogeneous catalysis plays a vital role in industrial applications that produce energy and valuable products. As global demands for energy and resources grow, there is an urgent need to enhance process productivity with catalysts that are both highly efficient and environmentally friendly. Nanomaterial-based catalysts, with their unique properties, offer an attractive option, supporting sustainability goals through low production costs, non-toxicity, exceptional stability, high recyclability, and minimized energy requirements during synthesis.
We invite comprehensive studies exploring the synthesis of novel nanomaterials, their characterization, and their catalytic performance in real-world applications. This Special Issue welcomes submissions on nanomaterial synthesis, structural and functional characterization, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, catalytic efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

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.
