Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Design and Properties of Functional Nanocatalysts”, focuses on the design of nanoscale functional catalysts with respect to theory, methods and applications, and coincides with the research scopes of environmental and energy catalytic conversion, material science, biocatalytic systems and sustainability. The goals of this Special Issue are to:
- Develop theoretical foundations and synthetic methods for the design of functional catalysts;
- Identify the properties of the designed catalysts, such as their morphology, size and electronic structure;
- Gain insight into the correlation of the structural design of functional materials with their catalytic performance (e.g., photo-, electro- and biocatalytic systems);
- Develop applications for functional catalysts in the fields of sustainable environmental catalysis (e.g., pollutant removal and adsorption) and clean energy catalysis (e.g., fuel cells).
Other relevant nanomaterials and their applications will also be considered.
Dr. Libin Zeng
Guest Editor
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.
