Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) featuring isolated metal atoms dispersed on supports with maximized atom utilization have received extensive attention in various catalytic processes. In recent years, with the rapid development of SACs and novel technologies, tremendous progress has been made in this area, ranging from their preparation and characterization to the application of SACs. This Special Issue will focus on these different aspects; in particular (but not limited to) the development of new methods for efficient, economic, or large-scale preparation of SACs, characterization or theoretical analysis of the co-ordination structure of single-metal sites, applications of SACs in the areas of thermo-, electro, or photocatalytic energy conversion reactions, biomass conversion, batteries and beyond. Both review and original research articles related to the above scope are welcome.

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. 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 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.
