Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous environmental pollution and energy shortage, the design of novel catalysts to achieve efficient energy conversion and utilization is receiving enormous interest. Nanotechnology provides novel strategies to synthesize functional catalysts; the engineered catalysts at the nanoscale enable enhanced activity, selectivity, efficiency, and stability.
There is an ongoing challenge to develop superior nanocatalysts in research on energy conversion/storage, environmental remediation, chemical synthesis, etc. We are currently organizing a Special Issue, “Advances in Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Catalytic Applications”. We invite the submission of original research, reviews, and perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
- Synthesis and characterization of novel nanomaterials/nanocomposites with different morphologies, such as crystalline, etc.
- Mechanistic studies of catalytic reactions on nanomaterials/nanocomposites;
- Both experiments and theoretical calculations of catalysts and catalytic processes;
- Applications of nanomaterials in various catalytic processes, such as energy conversion, environmental remediation, and chemical synthesis.

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.
