Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structured and non-structured mesoporous catalytic materials have found applications in several industrial processes for the production of value added chemicals from biomass, fine chemicals, speciality, medicinal drug molecules and pharmaceutical components. Metal modified and acidic structured mesoporous materials such as MCM-41, MCM-48, MCM-50, MCM-36 and SBA-15 due to uniform pores, regular channel systems, high surface area, shape selectivity property, as well as Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, are utilized in the organic synthesis, petro-chemical industry, the purification of industrial waste water and solving environmental problems. Synthesis parameters such as time, temperature, pH of the gel solutions, sources of silica, alumina, surfactants, structure directing agents, methods of stirring and thermal treatments substantially influence the physico-chemical and catalytic properties.
Special Issue of Catalysts: "Metal Modified and Acidic Mesoporous Catalytic Materials for Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass, Synthesis of Speciality, Fine Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals" invites original research papers on following topics:
Structured mesoporous materials;
Metal modified and acidic mesoporous materials;
MCM-41, MCM-48, MCM-50, MCM-36, SBA-15;
Synthesis and characterization of structured and non-structured mesoporous materials;
Physico-chemical characterizations;
Fine chemicals, speciality and pharmaceuticals;
Petro-chemicals, environmental catalysis;
Renewables, biofuels, jet fuels, biodiesels.

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.
