Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition toward sustainable energy systems and environmental remediation demands innovative catalytic solutions to address global challenges such as climate change, energy scarcity, and environmental pollution. This Special Issue focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of advanced catalysts for energy conversion and environmental protection, aiming to foster interdisciplinary research that bridges fundamental science with scalable technologies for a sustainable future. We invite original research, reviews, and perspectives on novel catalytic materials and processes, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Photocatalytic and electrocatalytic water splitting;
- CO2 reduction to fuels and chemicals;
- Hydrogen production/storage;
- Air and water purification;
- Pollutant degradation;
- Greenhouse gas mitigation;
- Industrial Catalysis Technology;
- Cutting-edge characterization techniques;
- Computational modeling.
If you would like to submit papers for publication in this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house Editor, Mr. Ives Liu (ives.liu@mdpi.com).

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-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.
