Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of cost-effective, highly selective, active, and stable catalysts for use hydrogenation and oxidation processes is a continuous and significant challenge. Hydrogenation and oxidation reactions, including industrial processes, environmental remediation, organic synthesis, and energy applications, are widely used. In the case of hydrogenation reactions, most practical applications require the use of a metal catalyst due to the mechanism generally involving electron transfer from the metal. The common metals used for hydrogenation are noble metals, such as Ru, Rh, Pt, and Pd, and non-noble metals, such as Co, Ni, Cu, and Fe. The deposition of these metal particles in different supports or encapsulation of these species within different frameworks has emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing catalytic performance. In the case of oxidation reactions, some applications can be performed with metal-free catalysts, which are increasingly attractive for their low cost and environmental friendliness. Generating active oxygen species is of great significance in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation reactions. The improvement of the generation and activation of oxygen species is a continuous challenge.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit original research papers focused on the development of catalysts for hydrogenation and oxidation reactions.

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.
