Catalysts in Thermo-Chemical Upcycling of Solid Wastes into High-Value Products, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Following a successful first edition, we are pleased to announce the launch of the second edition of a Special Issue entitled "Catalysts in Thermo-Chemical Upcycling Solid Wastes to High-Value Products".

Thermochemical upcycling solid wastes, such as municipal solid wastes, waste plastics, and biomass, to high-value products helps to address the global solid waste crisis, reduce the climate impacts, and realize circular economy by resources recovery. Fundamental breakthroughs in strategy, technology, process, and catalysts are urgently needed to accelerate developments in this emerging area.

We invite contributions related to the use of solid wastes of different types (household, industrial, etc.) into high-value products (oil, syngas, carbon, etc.) via various technologies (pyrolysis, gasification, catalytic reforming, catalytic decomposition, catalytic partial oxidation, etc.). Specially, contributions related to catalyst design, preparation, performance, lifetime, stability, and regeneration during the catalytic processes for upcycling solid wastes are welcome.

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.
