Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions in the chemical industry. Approximately 25% of chemical transformations include at least one catalytic hydrogenation step. In hydrogenation transformations, selective hydrogenation is undoubtedly the most useful reaction as it provides an economic and sustainable route to creating pharmaceuticals, materials, and fundamental feedstock chemicals. This Special Issue aims to address the challenges and opportunities for selective hydrogenation reactions in heterogeneous catalysis. We will highlight and collect the latest progress in selective hydrogenation of alkynes, CO2, nitro arenes, unsaturated carbonyl compounds, and biomass derivatives, etc. We encourage submissions of original research, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspectives that address the experimental and theoretical aspects of heterogeneous catalysis for selective hydrogenation. Specific subjects include but are not limited to:
- Development of highly active catalysts for selective hydrogenation
- Theoretical calculations and microkinetic modeling to elucidate mechanisms of selective hydrogenation reactions
- Advanced characterization techniques for studying selective hydrogenation reactions
- Design and application of novel reactors for selective hydrogenation 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.
