Feature Paper in Section Catalytic Materials


Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis





Dear Colleagues,



Heterogeneous, homogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis embraces all kinds of human activities and is fundamental in product design. Since the introduction of the concept of catalysts’ role in chemistry by Berzlius in 1835, a multitude of catalytic materials and processes have been conceived, developed, and implemented: modern industry and society would not exist without catalysts.



The present Special Issue aims to collect featured research and review articles in the various domains of catalysis: homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic, photo-, and electrocatalysis.



Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:




  • Petrochemistry;

  • Environmental catalysis;

  • Green catalytic processes;

  • Catalysis in energy storage and production;

  • Catalysts in pharma- and agro-industry;

  • Photochemistry/photocatalysis;

  • Electrochemistry;

  • Biocatalysis



All these subjects can be approached from an experimental or theoretical point of view, deriving from academic studies or from industrial applications. The evaluation of socioeconomic and environmental impacts of catalysts in the various processes is welcome.
