Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic processes account for more than 90% of chemical transformation processes, and the roles of a catalyst include improving the reaction rate and controlling the selectivity of the particular chemical conversion. Concerns about global warming and energy shortages have prompted us to promote reusable nanomaterials for use in green chemistry and clean energy. However, traditional nanomaterials are increasingly inefficient for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Researchers are evolving the compositions and structures of nanocatalysts to make them more active, selective and stable for the transformation of small organic molecules, biomass upgrading, clean energy production, et cetera.
Metallic nanomaterials are versatile in heterogeneous catalysis, which can be traced back to the 1980s. This current Special Issue of the journal Nanomaterials is aimed at presenting the fabrication of novel metallic nanomaterials for selective catalysis and renewable energy production. I look forward to your contributions of research articles or reviews to this Special Issue in the fields related to, but not limited to, the above.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
