Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the field of catalytic conversion, significant research efforts are underway in order to develop sustainable methods for the manufacturing of compounds and eco-friendly energy carriers in response to the severe climate crisis we face today. Among these efforts, the development of catalyst systems for the synthesis of value-added chemicals via the conversion of CO2, highlighted as an eco-friendly hydrogen carrier, has led to the application of various innovative methods and significant achievements. Despite the remarkable advances made to date, numerous challenges remain in this research field; this includes enhancing the activity and stability of catalysts, elucidating the catalytic reaction mechanisms, and assessing the practical economic and environmental viability. Life Cycle Assessment–Techno-Economic Analysis (LCA-TEA) will be an important area of study moving forward.
This Special Issue of Catalysts will focus on recent advancements in the development of catalyst systems for the conversion of CO2. The scope of this Special Issue will also extend to exploring reaction mechanisms via theoretical calculations and in situ analysis experiments. Additionally, this Special Issue will encompass all research related to LCA-TEA, thus elucidating the economic and environmental aspects of catalytic processes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
