Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic materials are those solids that allow the chemical reaction to take place efficiently and cost-effectively. They exist in many forms and can be prepared through various techniques involving different procedures and methods. New developments based on the design and functioning of catalytic materials are key to solving a number of current challenges, including the development of cleaner fuel technologies and the elimination of environmentally damaging processes in the pharmaceutical or chemical industries. This Special Issue will collect high-quality comprehensive papers and review papers covering mainly fundamental and applied research/results in the field of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Topics to be covered include but are not limited to homogeneous catalysis, metal catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, solid acid, solid base, zeolite, mesoporous material, supported metal catalysts, and photocatalysis. We warmly encourage colleagues involved in all branches of catalytic materials to contribute to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Yuwen Chen

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
