Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is currently experiencing significant research progress, and the subsequent findings are having a phenomenal impact on catalysis. Catalyst fabrication has significantly advanced in terms of manipulating the composition, size, and shape of nanoparticles. One of the primary objectives of industrial catalysis is to attain the best catalytic performance and selectivity of a single target product, while retaining a robust stability to avoid the deactivation process. Metallic nanoparticle catalysts are fabricated for this purpose using various synthetic approaches, and research on several catalytic processes shows that the appropriate nanoparticle shape and size improves its performance and selectivity. On the other hand, by combining two metals, bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts develop unique chemical and catalytic characteristics that their pristine single-metal nanoparticles do not exhibit.
A Special Issue of Crystals, entitled "State-of-the-Art Metallic and Bimetallic Nanoparticles and Their Catalytic Properties", will be launched in order to cover the recent advances in the implementations of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles in the field of catalysis.
The research topics of this Special Issue include (but are not restricted to) the following:
- The fabrication approaches of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles and their composite catalysts;
- Metallic and bimetallic-catalyzed reactions;
- Organic transformation reactions;
- Coupling reactions;
- Catalytic oxidation

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.
