Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured catalysts have recently experienced tremendous advancement in energy-based technologies and a rise in demand for the manufacture and use of sustainable fuels. Researchers and scientists have worked incredibly hard to create novel catalysts with intriguing properties for cutting-edge catalytic applications. It is interesting to note that several stages of catalytic reaction pathways, such as adsorption, desorption, diffusion, separation, charge transfer, and so on, are affected by external fields including light, thermal, electric, magnetic, and mechanical fields, etc. Moreover, emerging synergetic field effects in multi-field assisted catalysis processes have been proven to be beneficial in various reactions.
Applications involving nanostructured materials in catalysis with the assistance of multi-fields will be one of the topics discussed in this Special Issue. Possible subjects include, but are not limited to:
The development of nanostructured materials for catalysis applications; multi-field-assisted catalysis processes (e.g., light, thermal, electric, magnetic, and mechanical fields); photocatalysts; electrocatalysts, thermalcatalysts, piezocatalysts, pyrocatalysts, and other novel nanostructured catalytic materials; nanostructured materials for environmental remediation; water purification; renewable energy sources, etc.; and future perspectives for the theoretical design of nanomaterials and innovative procedures/techniques for creating external-field-assisted nanostructured catalytic materials.

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.
