State-of-the-Art of Catalytical Technology in China

Dear Colleagues,

Recent decades have seen a rapid growth in catalytic science and technology in China. Notable contributions to many fields have been made, including but not limited to the optimal utilization of coal, petroleum and natural gas, green synthesis of advanced materials, and protection of the environment as well as human health. This Special Issue welcomes both review and original research articles on all aspects of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, with an emphasis on fundamental and applied research implemented across China. Collaborative work between Chinese and non-Chinese partners is also welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

C₁ chemistry;

Conversion of C₂-C₅ paraffins;

Electrocatalysis and photocatalysis;

Environmental catalysis;

Conversion of biomass and biomass-derived molecules;

Catalyst characterization;

Catalysis for chemical synthesis;

In situ and operando analysis;

Catalyst deactivation;

Theory and computation in catalysis;

Reaction engineering;

Cross-cutting topic in 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 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.
