Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The catalytic conversion of CO2/CO to valuable fuels or chemical products serves as an effective strategy to combat the growing energy crisis. During the process of catalytically converting CO2/CO, the cleavage of the C–O bond still remains a great challenge. Numerous efforts have been dedicated to the development of novel catalysts for CO2/CO conversion, with their structure-function relationships and corresponding catalytic mechanisms being of particular interest to researchers.

This Special Issue will mainly cover research on the catalytic conversion of CO2 or CO. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Hydrogenation of CO2/CO to valuable fuels or chemicals;
  • Catalytic processes for CO2/CO conversion;
  • Novel catalysts for CO2/CO conversion;
  • Reaction mechanisms of CO2/CO conversion;
  • Characterization techniques for the catalytic process;
  • Applications of CO2/CO conversion.

If you would like to submit papers for publication in this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house Editor, Ms. Georgie Guan (georgie.guan@mdpi.com).

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.
