Layered Double Hydroxide-Based Catalysts for Advanced Chemical Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

After the first successful Special Issue focused on layered double hydroxide-based catalytic materials available here, we propose the second edition titled “Layered Double Hydroxide-Based Catalysts for Advanced Chemical Technologies”. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) together with their derived materials, such as hybrids, nanocomposites, mixed metal oxides, and supported metals, were shown to be excellent heterogeneous catalysts for a wide range of chemical, photochemical and electrochemical processes. However, they have not had their last word yet! Indeed, due to their great compositional flexibility and ability to intercalate between their nanosheets both organic and inorganic species, new multifunctional catalytic materials can be obtained with practically unlimited applications in various processes resulting in new chemical technologies or the improvement of the existing ones. Thus, the present Special Issue collects original research papers, reviews, and commentaries focused on new and outstanding catalytic applications of all kinds of LDH-based materials.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts 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 2200 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.
