Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between active structures and catalytic performance is a fundamental concept in the field of catalysis, which is the study of the acceleration of chemical reactions using catalysts. Emerging research in the relationship between active structures and catalytic performance is driven by the need for more efficient, sustainable, and selective catalytic processes.
Researchers striving to establish structure–activity relationships, which help predict how changes in the catalyst's active structure will affect its performance. The key points regarding this relationship include active sites or regions, catalyst-specificity, promoters or co-catalysts, deactivation, etc. The design, optimization, and understanding of active structures are key goals in the field of catalysis, with implications for various industries from petrochemicals to environmental remediation.
To better understand and design more efficient and selective catalysts, this Special Issue is dedicated to the trends and directions of nanocatalysis, single-atom catalysis, catalyst promoters and co-catalysts, synergistic catalysis, in situ and operando techniques, computational modeling, heterogeneous to homogeneous catalysis, environmental and sustainable catalysis, catalytic materials for energy conversion, etc. Emerging research in the field of catalysis continues to explore the intricate relationship between active structures and catalytic performance with a focus on developing more efficient and sustainable catalysts.

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.
