Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, entitled “Microporous and Mesoporous Materials for Catalytic Applications”, following its great success among academic and industrial researchers around the globe.
Microporous and mesoporous materials, due to their unique properties (uniform pores, channel systems, shape selectivity and high thermal stability), have found applications as catalytic materials in several oil refinery processes, as well as in the production of petrochemicals, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, drug molecules and specialty chemicals. Furthermore, possibilities to design active catalytic metal sites with a well-defined size, dispersion and location in microporous and mesoporous materials have attracted the interest of researchers in academia and industry. The Brønsted and Lewis acid sites in microporous and mesoporous materials can be varied by changing the silica-to-alumina ratio, which provides possibilities to tailor the acid sites with given amounts and strengths. After deactivation in reactions, metal-modified and acidic microporous and mesoporous materials are easily regenerated and reused, thus making them highly efficient and cost-effective catalytic materials.
Further, other new metal-modified microporous and mesoporous materials are continuously being developed for applications in the production of environmentally friendly chemicals, green fuel components, drug molecules and pharmaceuticals. Taking into consideration climate change mitigation, the development of green process technology and the sustainable development of our society, microporous and mesoporous materials materials are going to be even more relevant in the future for the production of renewable energy, novel drug molecules, fine chemicals, medicinal products and specialty chemicals.

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.
