Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives have been widely utilized as efficient catalysts in many distinct areas including traditional organic transformation, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and biomimetic catalysis. In recent decades, the development of MOF and MOF-based catalysts has advanced rapidly, playing an important role in green and sustainable catalysis.
This Special Issue of Catalysts will provide an overview of recent advancements in MOFs and MOF-derived catalysts, aiming to highlight the advantages of MOFs in the above areas and provide potential solutions to the problems associated with future practical applications. Special attention will be paid to the use of novel catalytic mechanisms in a variety of reactions, intermediates, unique functionalization methods associated with the metal nodes or linkers of MOFs, guest–host interactions, and their synergistic effect between MOFs and incorporated components. This Special Issue aims to collect both original research and review papers that address these topics, with articles offering insights that are based on creative efforts and current challenges.
If you would like to submit papers for publication in this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house Editor, Mr. Ives Liu ([email protected]).

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.
