Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic conversion of carbon oxides is one of the most important topics in terms of ecological, chemical engineering, and energy aspects. The choice of the appropriate catalyst for these processes may lead to a great diversity of valuable products. Clean synthetic fuels, lubricants, light olefins, methanol and high alcohols, dimethyl ether, polyurethane, etc. can be produced through CO or CO2 hydrogenation, oxidative dehydrogenation, and other reactions. Transformations of carbon oxides are also of great interest for green chemistry because effective and low-cost CO2 utilization and CO oxidation are significant ecological challenges facing our world.
Despite large-scale implementation of several reactions, many issues still need to be clarified and resolved. Optimization of both catalytic systems and reaction conditions, study of reaction mechanisms, and development of new effective nanocatalysts are the main topics in the case of CO and CO2 conversion. This Special Issue aims to show the recent progress and trends in theoretical and practical study of carbon oxide transformations into valuable products via heterogeneous catalytic processes.

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.
