Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main goal of this Special Issue is to compile and review the current state-of-the-art research on the design of nanoscale catalysts and the tuning their performance for dedicated selective biomass-to-green-chemicals transformations. Studies examining the role of reactivity in selected biomass conversion reactions involving both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts will be highly appreciated. Of particular interest will be the exploration of active sites and electronic structures of catalysts during reactions, which can lead to the development of a new class of active materials with identified structures. With this Special Issue, we are expecting to gain new insights from both molecular modeling and experimental methods into catalysts' topology and catalytic properties. The overall aim is to tackle any unresolved problems and uncertainties to foster the development of the science and economy of catalysts design for the sustainable and environmentally friendly production of green chemicals from waste biomass.

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.
