Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalysts synthesis is an indispensable part of heterogeneous catalysis, which is a multidisciplinary field comprising preparations, reactivity studies, kinetics, reaction and reactor engineering, etc. To improve activity, selectivity, and stability and to link the physicochemical properties with catalytic behavior, a lot of effort has been devoted to catalyst characterization, including in situ spectroscopy and imaging.
This Special Issue aims to encompass original scientific papers, short communications, and reviews on innovative approaches for catalyst preparation without any restrictions regarding the types of catalysts (zeolites, supported metals, MOFS, clays, carbons, nanotubes, structured catalysts, immobilized homogeneous catalysts, nanoreactors, composites, membranes, thin films, etc.). In addition to classical methods of preparations (hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel methods, impregnation, precipitation, etc.), the editors also anticipate contributions addressing less conventional methods, such as surfactant-assisted preparations, mechanochemical or plasma activation, ALD, CVD, flame and combustion methods, application of ultrasound, etc.
Potential industrial implementation and requirements of a large-scale catalyst production inevitably call for research on upscaling, shaping and structuring, including extrusion, spray drying, tableting, high-throughput approaches, etc.
The editors especially welcome contributions in such emerging areas as numerical and theoretical approaches in catalyst preparation.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit papers and reviews exploring the fascinating issue of heterogeneous catalyst preparation and characterization.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
