Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic technologies are required in various industries: in the chemical and food industries, energy, wood processing, and pharmaceuticals. Catalysts are involved in 70–80% of all chemical processes. The global catalyst market size was estimated at USD 25.0 billion in 2018 and continues to grow. In the United States and Europe, the catalyst market is growing due to the introduction of new rules and regulations governing the level of pollution in industry. Enterprises are forced to invest in the catalytic industry in order to meet new environmental standards.
To create new approaches in the synthesis of catalysts, it is necessary to understand, in greater detail, the structure of effective centers, methods of regeneration, how to increase thermal stability, etc. One of the possibilities to significantly improve the characteristics of catalytic systems is to reduce the size of their components. The growing interest in nanostructured systems stimulated a significant surge in the activity of studying their structure, which does not come down to the atomic structure of a single nanoparticle or crystalline block. The most important characteristics affecting the physical and chemical properties of nanocomposites are the size, shape of the nanoparticles, their mutual orientation, etc.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials “Synthesis of Nanocomposites and Catalysis Applications” will focus not only on the features of nanocomposite synthesis but also on methods for the characterization of material structure, the relationship between chemical structure and catalytic properties, and possible avenues for catalyst regeneration or decomposition.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
