Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanomaterials were one of the first materials humans met in practice after discovering fire, as fire produced charcoal and soot. We are approaching the second century of scientific research on nanostructured carbons with the catalytic applications of these materials being one of the fastest growing fields. The scientific community continues to meet new challenges due to both the novel scientific aspects of inexhaustible nanocarbon chemistry and to newly arising roles of nanocarbon in catalysis, where nanocarbons can act as active components, support for active components, a heat-conductive medium, a catalyst-modifying deposit, materials for electrocatalysis, a component of catalytic fuel cell membranes, etc. The catalytic growth of carbon nanomaterials is another important aspect. The opportunities afforded by quantum chemistry calculations and CFD modeling open the way for unimaginably accurate theoretical predictions of nanocarbon’s behavior in catalysis.
The aim of this Special Issue is to cover the promising recent research and novel trends of carbon nanomaterials in catalysis. Contributions from all areas of fundamental and applied catalysis science and technology, based on experimental results and/or mathematical modeling, are of great interest.

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.
