Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We welcome original research papers, review articles and short communications on the latest research progress of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents in the field of catalysis.
Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents may replace the use of volatile organic solvents owing to their unique and tunable physicochemical properties, low vapor pressure and ability to dissolve a variety of inorganic and organic compounds. In addition, they may possess catalytically active functional groups. Moreover, they may be supported on porous or non-porous inorganic materials, nanoparticles, etc., combining their chemical features with the benefits associated with heterogeneous catalysis, e.g., the ease of catalyst recovery and reuse. We also welcome studies on the synthesis of new ionic liquids with potential catalytic properties assessed via characterization studies, such as measurements of acid–base properties, etc. Accepted papers will be promptly published online.

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.
