Graphene Related Materials for Catalytic Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Graphene is a 2D carbon material with amazing chemical, electrical and mechanical properties. A great deal of research has been devoted to modifying graphene to enable its use in several applications. Recent progress in graphene derivatives, such as graphitic carbon nitride, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and others, demonstrated the potential of this material. In particular, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets show remarkable unique electronic and structural properties. Due to its excellent electric charge carrier mobility, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength and flexibility, large specific surface area and capacity for surface functionalization, rGO has been universally accepted to serve as an ideal charge carrier shuttle and catalysis support.

The aim of the Special Issue is to reveal the mysterious role of graphene and its derivatives in energy and environmental catalysis, helping to achieve the goals of reaching carbon peak and carbon neutralization. We welcome papers dealing with graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphitic carbon nitride and other graphene derivatives for catalytic applications. We are looking forward to receiving your valuable research results, and are grateful for your support and contributions. Your active participation and input will be the basis of a successful outcome. We look forward to your submissions.

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.
