Recent Progress on Nano-Catalysts for Energy Generation

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we invite new and important perspectives of nanoscience applications, namely nanomaterials, in catalysis, energy conversion, and energy conservation technologies. Novel physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials can be applied and engineered to meet the advanced material requirements in the new generation of chemical and energy conversion devices, reactions, and products.

An example is the oxidation of alkanes to produce alcohols. Contributions of the latest advances in these fields providing an overview of the major challenges for further developments are welcome in this Special Issue. Another major topic of interest is the design of new catalysts with desirable activity and higher selectivity in order to alleviate energy and process requirements for separation and purification using current technologies based on fossil raw materials, and to protect our environment by reducing the need for disposal of waste chemicals, promoting a cleaner energy generation. In this Special Issue, we invite new and important perspectives, approaches, and applications of nanocatalysts for energy generation.

Based on the above considerations, submissions to this Special Issue are welcome in the form of original research papers, reviews, or communications that highlight promising recent research and novel trends in this field.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Catalysts” and the Special Issue “Recent Progress on Nano-Catalysts for Energy Generation” via: MDPI submission system. Please contact the Guest Editor or the journal editor ([email protected]) for any queries. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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.
