Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous catalysis is a fundamental contributor to green or sustainable chemistry, ranging from synthesis to environmental applications. The primary purpose of this Special Issue is to bring current research trends and application possibilities in this area to the attention of chemists to benefit sustainable applications and eventually all of society.
This Special Issue intends to provide a broad overview of the use of solid catalysts in chemistry with a strong focus on synthetic and environmentally benign applications. Manuscripts that describe the fundamentals of heterogeneous catalytic synthesis, the major types of solid catalysts and the applications of these catalysts in sustainable synthesis are all welcome. It is envisioned that this Special Issue will include three major areas. The first part will include advances in basic concepts and descriptions of heterogeneous catalytic reactions from adsorption to catalyst poisons, the use of non-traditional activation methods, and recommended solvents. The second part will provide a forum for the development of new catalytic materials including metal and non-metal catalysts and hybrid materials, such as metal–organic frameworks. The third and likely most extensive part will illustrate the contemporary use of these catalysts in green and sustainable applications from synthesis to environmental remediation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Bela Torok
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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
