Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene is one of the most promising functional materials, consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms. Its unique two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structure gives graphene high thermal and electrical conductivity and large specific surface area. Thus, it has been extensively used as a key component for developing advanced catalysts in various reactions ranging from catalytic oxidation to reduction and coupling reactions. Graphene, as a 2D substrate material, can also bridge between naturally existing enzymatic biocatalysts and synthetic heterogeneous catalysts to realize non-precious-metal catalyst design. To stimulate further development, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of review, perspective, and original research articles on graphene-based catalysts for both thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis. Submissions are welcome especially (but not exclusively) in the following topics:
- Metal-free graphene catalysts for thermal or electrocatalysis;
- Identification of active sites of metal-free graphene catalysts;
- Design and synthesis of nanoparticle catalysts on graphene;
- Design and synthesis of graphene-based single-atom catalysts;
- Benchmark studies of the activity and durability of graphene-based catalysts;
- Interfacial studies of graphene-based catalysts during electrocatalysis.

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.
