Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This issue aims to showcase the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the field of nanomaterials applied to catalysis and sensing applications. Nanomaterials have revolutionized the field of catalysis, offering unprecedented opportunities for enhancing reaction efficiency, selectivity, and stability. Moreover, their unique properties make them highly promising candidates for sensing applications across diverse domains, from environmental monitoring to biomedical diagnostics.
We invite researchers, scientists, and experts in the field to contribute their original research articles, reviews, and perspectives to this special issue. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Synthesis and characterization of functional nanomaterials for catalytic applications
- Design and optimization of catalysts for efficient energy conversion/storage and chemical transformations
- Design and characterization of nanoclusters/nanostructures for energy storage and conversion.
- Development of nanomaterial-based sensors for detecting gases, biomolecules, pollutants, and analytes
- Integration of nanomaterials into sensing platforms for real-time monitoring and diagnostics
Join us in advancing the understanding and application of nanomaterials in catalysis and sensing. Your contributions will undoubtedly enrich this dynamic and interdisciplinary field.
Please submit your manuscripts to contribute to this endeavor.

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 2200 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.
