Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous catalysis plays a key role in the synthesis of a wide range of products in many fields, such as petrochemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals, as well as fine chemicals. Nowadays, the use of heterogeneous catalysts is focused on the application of environmental concerns. The need for catalysts for more complex, specific processes or multifunctional catalysts for one-pot reactions has led to the redesign of catalysts to increase their efficiency.
Considering these premises, this Special Issue focuses on new approaches to synthesize new catalytic systems or improve the dispersion of the active phase. In the same way, this Special Issue is interested in the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts by new methodologies, superficial properties, the analysis of the adsorption and/or desorption of catalysts, and the molecular modeling or analysis of the limiting steps, among other topics.
Based on this situation, I would like to invite authors to publish papers and short reviews related to the use of heterogeneous catalysts in different reactions to obtain valuable products or environmental applications.
Dr. Juan Antonio Cecilia
Guest Editor
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
