Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous Special Issue “Heterogeneous Catalysis for Environmentally Compatible Reactions and Processes”.
In recent decades, scientific–technological efforts have been intensified to reduce the effect of pollutants on health, the environment, and consequent climate change. Heterogeneous catalysis has been successfully applied in various chemistry and chemical engineering fields such as traditional industrial processes, petrochemicals, environmental protection, obtaining fuels, and chemical products. Currently, the solution to several problems is addressed towards reactions and environmentally friendly processes. Various lines of research have been devoted to eliminating and controlling emissions and environmental remediation. On the other hand, and no less important, the study of reactions and processes allowing waste recovery and clean fuel obtention has been intensified. The growing demand for energy and using renewable sources as alternatives to fossil fuels has increased the interest in new fields and lines of research. To respond to the challenge, developing new active and selective catalysts and environmentally friendly catalytic processes for existing and new applications is essential.
This Special Issue of Catalysts aims to cover new research and trends in the development and application of catalytic materials for sustainable catalytic applications, including pollution control, clean energy production, fine chemical, biomass valorization, and environmental remediation. The Editors welcome contributions in the form of research papers, short communications, and reviews focusing on the design and development of catalysts for sustainable catalytic processes. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Environmental catalysis;
- Wastewater treatment;
- Catalysis in green synthesis;
- Catalysts for emission control and air pollution control;
- Biomass conversion and biofuel production;
- Waste conversion;
- Biomass derivates sub-products valorization;
- Catalytic Pyrolysis;
- H2 production, CO2 conversion, gasification, Fischer–Tropsch synthesis;
- New materials for catalytic applications;
- In situ/operando characterization techniques for studying the catalyst;
- Computational catalysis.

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.
