Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue “Oxidation Catalysis under Unconventional Methods”.
Selective and efficient catalysts for oxidation reactions under sustainable conditions are an important area of current research interest. There is a high demand for the design of alternative and efficient routes under mild conditions that bypass the use of toxic acid solvents for energy-efficient catalytic processes and for a clean environment. For this purpose, several techniques (e.g., microwave irradiation, ultrasound, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), ionic liquid or supercritical CO2 medium and gas-phase catalysis) are employed to make the catalytic process more energy-efficient and ecofriendly. Catalysts can be homogeneous, heterogenous or supported, depending on their nature and activity in the catalytic reactions. Papers submitted to this Issue may also include kinetic studies, theoretical calculation, and mechanistic illustrations.
The main goal of this Special Issue is to combine a variety of new and original research results on oxidation catalysis under unconventional methods, covering the following points:
- Oxidation reactions under homogeneous catalysis conditions using microwave irradiation, ultrasound, reactions in ionic liquid medium or supercritical conditions, etc.;
- Application of AOPs for the removal of organic pollutants (e.g., CECs);
- Oxidation reactions under heterogenous catalysis conditions or catalysts on supported materials;
- Kinetic or electrochemical studies to explore the role of catalysts;
- Theoretical calculations to elucidate the mechanism of the catalytic reaction.
New and original research studies and review articles on this topic are welcome.

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.
