Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled “Synthesis and Catalytic Performance of Transition Metal Catalysts” covers topics related to the chemistry and structure of diverse doped and composite transition metal catalysts, in addition to the design, synthesis and applications of these catalysts. Doped transition metal catalysts include metal–organic frameworks, organic–inorganic hybrids, metal oxide, or zeolite-like materials. The composites covered include those based on biochar, graphene or carbon nitride. Catalytic reactions include homogeneous and multiphase catalysis. Catalytic behaviors include, but are not limited to, high efficiency, high activity, sensitive, selective or green. The application of transition metal catalysts includes advanced oxidation technology in water pollution control, water electrolysis or electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide and so on. Other topics related to the synthesis, catalytic performance and application of doped and composite transition metal catalysts 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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
