Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, increasing number of researches have focused on design and synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts, since over 90% of industrial processes for chemical synthesis use heterogeneous systems. In comparison with traditional homogeneous catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts are quite stable and easy to separate from the reaction system. However, due to the multiple components of heterogeneous systems, the reactivity and selectivity of catalysts are sometimes low. Presently, heterogeneous catalyst have been widely used in various types of catalytic process, including thermocatalysis, electro-catalysis, photocatalysis and biocatalysis. Given the widespread use of heterogeneous catalysts and the growing needs of environmental protection and green chemistry, it is necessary to develop good-to-excellent catalysts for various reactions and investigate how heterogeneous catalysts work with good performacens.
This Special Issue will cover topics including, but not restricted to, the recent advances in heterogeneous catalysis for new energy catalysis, biomass transformation and fine chemicals synthesis by using supported metal catalysts or mixed metal oxides. Short communications, full research articles and review articles are all respectfully welcomed to submit in the Specisl Issue.

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. Molecules 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 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.
