Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of sustainable catalytic materials plays an essential role in the medium- and long-term strategy of the chemical industry, as almost 90% of all chemical processes include at least one catalytic step. Moreover, in the current context of ending exhaustible fossil resources, new processes for the production of added-value compounds starting from renewable resources are in researchers’ spotlight. For this purpose, beside the role in the synthesis of key intermediates, selective catalytic oxidation is an extremely useful tool in creating new sustainable and greener chemical processes.
This Special Issue focuses on the development of sustainable catalytic materials for selective oxidation reactions in the context of an environmentaly-friendlier chemistry with lower energy consumption including synthesis of useful chemicals by selective oxidation from bio-derived sustainable feedstocks, liquid phase alcohols oxidation, carbon dioxide preferential oxidation, oxidative dehydrogenation and ammoxidation, etc., as well as their applications in relevant topics related to sustainable energy as for exemple: fuel cells, production of syngas, conversion of biomass to fuels, hydrogen energy, catalytic transformation of CO2 to fuels, and so on.
This Special Issue welcomes the recent advances and trends in the development of novel sustainable catalytic materials for selective oxidation and energy applications, and is not limited to the above-mentioned challenging 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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
