Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The consumption of diminishing fossil fuel result in the dramatical increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in atmosphere, causing global temperature increase and severe climate changes. Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to value added chemical and fuels has attracted increasing attentions because of its great potential for closing the anthropological carbon-loop and producing the sustainable energy and materials. Great efforts have been made to develop efficient catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Methanol is a particularly valuable product from CO2 hydrogenation, because it is an excellent fuel for internal combustion engines or fuel cells, can be easily transported and stored using existing infrastructure, and is also an important feedstock for producing other valuable chemicals (e.g., dimethyl ether, ethylene, propylene) that current obtained from fossil fuels.
This Special Issue will present the most recent and significant theoretical and experimental studies and discoveries on heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts including thermoal-, photo-, electro-catalysis for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Original papers on the above topics and short reviews are welcome for submission.

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.
