Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous catalysis is the engine of chemical industry. Without heterogeneous catalysis that enabled mass production of chemicals, the current society as we know now would have never been possible. There are many pressing problems for environmental protection and sustainable energy consumption. These can only be fundamentally solved by better heterogeneous catalyst design that can provide activity and stability at the same time.
Functional oxides can show emergent properties for heterogeneous catalysis alone or in tandem with dispersed metal. The existence of oxygen vacancies and other extended defects, along with new Operando characterization techniques, enriches the field of oxide catalyst more than ever. For this Special Issue on “Functional Oxides for Heterogeneous Catalysis”, researchers can report findings on oxide catalyst from experimental or theoretical approaches. Given your reputed experience in this field, and the outstanding impact of your previous publications, we would very much appreciate your contribution in this Special Issue of ChemEngineering.

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. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.
