Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our understanding of catalytic phenomena and how they influence catalytic performance is burgeoning, and this can be contributed to advances in computational and experimental methods. Furthermore, it has advanced the field of catalyst design. In this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers and short reviews on any topic that highlights an advancement in catalyst fundamentals or catalyst design. Examples could include advancements in experimental or computational methods, the identification of a catalytic reaction mechanism, the elucidation of catalytic phenomena that influence catalytic performance, identifying the catalytic active sites, the influence of reaction conditions on active site composition, solvent effects, catalyst deactivation, phenomena that explain how different catalyst materials lead to different catalyst performances, the screening and/or design of catalyst materials or properties, the screening and/or design of catalytic reaction conditions, the screening and/or design of solvents in catalytic reactions, the performance and/or design of novel catalysts, and breakthroughs in catalyst design. We welcome contributions from experimental groups and computational groups as well as experimental/computational collaborations.
Dr. Rachel B. Getman

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. Catalysts 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 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.
