Advancing Catalysis: Bridging the Gap from Academic Innovation to Industrial Application

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, "Advancing Catalysis: Bridging the Gap from Academic Innovation to Industrial Application", aims to explore the critical transition of catalytic research from academic settings to practical industrial applications. This Special Issue will highlight recent advancements in catalysis that have the potential to revolutionize industrial processes, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between academia and industry to accelerate the development and implementation of innovative catalytic technologies.

Catalysis plays a pivotal role in numerous industrial processes, offering enhanced efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Despite significant academic breakthroughs in catalytic science, the translation of these innovations into industrial practice often faces substantial challenges. This Special Issue seeks to address these challenges by presenting research that exemplifies the successful integration of academic discoveries into industrial processes.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel catalytic materials and their industrial applications;
• Advances in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis;
• Case studies of successful academic–industrial collaborations;
• Scaling up catalytic processes from laboratory to industry;
• Catalysis in sustainable and green chemistry;
• Computational and experimental approaches in catalyst design and optimization;
• Catalytic processes in energy conversion and storage.

By showcasing cutting-edge research and fostering dialogue between researchers and industry professionals, this Special Issue aims to inspire new strategies for bridging the gap between academic innovation and industrial application in the field of catalysis. We invite contributions that highlight transformative research, practical applications, and collaborative efforts that drive the field of catalysis forward.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
