Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis are key techniques in modern synthesis and play a central role both in academic and industrial research. Homogeneous catalysts have the advantages of being selective and reactive, but their separation from the reaction mixtures is a difficult process. In contrast, heterogeneous catalysts are less selective and reactive, but they can be easily separated from the reaction medium and recycled. Selective, reactive and recyclable catalyst can be considered as ideal catalyst and very attractive for various applications. To achieve such ideal catalysts, a great deal of effort has devoted recently to develop new methods for bridging between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. These methods include the development of nanocatalysts, nano-structured catalysts, micro- and nanoreactors, in addition to the construction of new materials with large surface areas, utilized as novel supports for homogeneous catalysts. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to cover recent advances made in the area of bridging homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
