Exhaust Gas Control Catalysis

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental protection is one of the major concerns worldwide in human society because anthropogenic emissions of pollutants from combustion engines pose a serious threat to human health and ecological balance. In recent decades, technological advances in heterogeneous catalysis have contributed to the purification of exhaust gases.

This Special Issue welcomes review papers and original research papers focused on the synthetic method and spectroscopic characterization of catalytic materials and their application in NO_x abatement. A particular focus is given to recent advances in bimetallic catalysts, the promotion effect of additives, and fine dispersion of active metal nanoparticles on porous materials to reduce the amount of noble metal usage. State-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques which allow in situ/operando monitoring of catalytic solid–gas interfaces and bulk materials under reaction conditions are also one of the central topics in this Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
