Frontier in Catalytic Dehydrogenation
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dehydrogenation reaction has been widely employed for the production of various commodity products, but is still a stringent issue in the chemical industry because it shows endothermic nature thermodynamically so that high reaction temperatures are required, meaning high energy cost. The stability of dehydrogenation catalysts is much challenging, as well under such harsh conditions. To overcome these detrimental drawbacks, a variety of approaches have been attempted in recent years, including not only development of active catalysts and/or efficient reaction systems but new concepts to reduce the enthalpy of dehydrogenation reaction. This Special Issue collects original research papers, reviews, and commentaries focused on the state-of-the-art challenges in catalytic dehydrogenation. Submissions are welcome especially (but not limited) in the following areas: H2 release from liquid organic hydrogen carriers, alkane (especially propane) dehydrogenation, acceptor-less dehydrogenative aromatization, oxidative dehydrogenation, and transfer dehydrogenation.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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 2200 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.
