Advanced Catalytic Technologies for NO_x Abatement and Environmental Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue titled “Advanced Catalytic Technologies for NO_x Abatement and Environmental Sustainability.” This issue seeks to highlight the recent advancements in catalytic technologies that address the challenges of nitrogen oxide (NO_x) emissions and contribute to environmental sustainability.

NO_x emissions are a significant contributor to air pollution and have adverse effects on both human health and the environment. Catalytic technologies, such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and other advanced catalytic processes, play a crucial role in mitigating these emissions. This Special Issue will focus on the latest developments in catalytic systems for NO_x abatement, including:

(1) Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Technologies: Advances in SCR catalysts, including novel materials, improved catalyst design, and enhanced reaction mechanisms.

(2) Photocatalytic and Heterogeneous Catalysis: Innovations in photocatalytic and heterogeneous catalytic processes for NO_x removal.

(3) Catalytic Materials: Development of new catalytic materials, such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), polyoxometalates (POMs), and other advanced materials for NO_x abatement.

(4) Environmental Applications: Practical applications of catalytic technologies in various industrial sectors including power plants, automotive, and chemical industries.

(5) Sustainability and Circular Economy: Integration of catalytic technologies with sustainable practices and circular economy principles to minimize environmental impact.

We welcome original research articles, review articles, and short communications that provide new insights and advancements in the field of NOx abatement and environmental sustainability.

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.
