Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has become increasingly important to reduce the world’s dependency on oil and secure its future energy. This would require an efficient and economically feasible conversion of coal and natural gas into chemicals. These chemical conversions require robust, active, and selective catalysts that could convert these fuels either directly, by a non-oxidative route, or indirectly, by an oxidative route, into valuable chemicals. Understanding the relationship between structure and reactivity of a catalyst is essential for developing new catalysts.
The goal of this Special Issue is to explore the recent work on Zn-based heterogenous catalysis in the field of CO/CO2 hydrogenation, dehydroaromatization of natural gas, reduction of CO2/NOx and control of their emissions, CO2-fixation into epoxides and other chemical process. Submissions in the form of original research papers, reviews, and short communications are encouraged to this Special Issue on “Zn-based Catalysts for Chemical and Fuel Conversions”.

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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
