Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural resource availability and energy demand are growing closer together. This situation not only increases the need for new energy research but also damages the environment. Therefore, as the world's population grows and increases the need for finite fossil resources, while research into renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly focused, the need to overcome the impending energy and environmental crises becomes more urgent. Carbon dioxide emissions, the primary cause of global warming and climate change, will ultimately be significantly reduced because of the extensive use of renewable energy sources. The conversion of CO2 into valuable and usable fuels and chemicals is one of the primary answers to addressing and resolving the major energy and environmental challenges. More studies have been performed on catalytic CO2 conversion as a critical chemical platform and as a potential chemical transporter for extra energy.
The Special Issue "Catalytic Routes for the Conversion of CO2" will examine the state of the art and prospects for converting CO2 to valuable compounds. Original research papers and review articles on inventing novel materials, developing new synthetic methods, and discovering new mechanisms for catalytic routes for the conversion of CO2 are all encouraged. The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to the conversion of CO2. All major routes such as thermocatalytic, photocatalytic and electrochemical routes will be explored in detail.

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 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.
