Zeolites and Zeolite-Based Catalysis

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Catalysts plans to publish a Special Issue entitled “Zeolites and Zeolite-Based Catalysis”. Zeolites and zeotypes are widely used for multiple processes linked with catalysis, adsorption, and separation. Their outstanding performance is related to their unique structural, physical, and acid properties, which provide suitable shape and acid selectivity for many catalytic applications. Great efforts have been made in the literature to improve the catalytic properties of these materials. The design and synthesis of new zeolite materials represent one of the most important and interesting areas of material science, particularly the synthesis of new active and selective catalysts, which is a crucial challenge. The main focus is new synthesis methods of single-site hierarchical porous zeolite catalysts with acid–base and redox properties. Such catalysts, with active sites formed by the incorporation of heteroelements in their framework, have potential in environmental protection and bio-feedstock conversion into valuable chemicals.

I invite you to submit your original research papers or reviews on all aspects of catalysis to this Special Issue, sharing developments and recent progress regarding the synthesis, characterization and application of zeolites or zeolite-like materials as catalysts.

Prof. Dr. Stanislaw Dzwigaj
Guest Editor

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.
