Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We, as Guest Editors, invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue of the Catalytic Reaction Engineering section of Catalysts to celebrate the journal’s 15th anniversary.
In recent years, we have witnessed a momentous change in the catalytic reaction engineering landscape, with an important segment of studies devoted to green catalytic processes with negligible CO2 footprints and others to hydrogen synthesis, an environmental chemical energy vector of choice. This is a commendable task that has been accomplished by the scientific catalysis and reaction engineering community. Furthermore, this research further will greatly benefit the implementation and scaling up of new green and sustainable catalytic reaction engineering processes in industry.
At this critical time, we invite contributions to this Special Issue launched to mark the 15th anniversary of Catalysts. Article submissions should focus on the new significant trends and approaches that will power the catalytic reaction engineering discipline in the next decade. Thus, we look forward to receiving your valuable research contributions and we anticipate that this Special Issue will be of great value to the engineering community worldwide.

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.
