Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous catalysis has played an important role in the development of more sustainable chemistry for many research areas, and for the chemical industry, where many processes involve catalysts. Hence, any single advance in the catalysis field, including the development of novel catalytic materials, catalyst synthesis strategies, and sustainable catalytic processes, may have a considerable impact on societal progress and will ensure a greener environment for forthcoming generations, addressing global energy and environmental challenges.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the recent trends in heterogeneous catalysis and is open to a wide variety of research topics that may range from the use of classical catalytic materials (zeolites, metal oxides, etc.) to other recent developments such as the design of single-atom catalysts and the use of sustainable synthesis strategies, including mechanochemistry. In addition, works in areas such as photocatalysis, continuous flow processes, etc. applied for biomass valorization or drug synthesis, among others in which heterogeneous catalysts plays a key role, will also be considered for publication in this Special Issue.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
