State-of-the-Art Catalytical Technology in South Korea

Dear Colleagues,

South Korea has become an important country in the field of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, including but not limited to catalysts for chemical synthesis, the biorefinery process, environmental remediation, and sustainable-energy devices such as fuel cells. 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 South Korea. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Air treatment;
• Water/wastewater treatment and disinfection;
• Catalytic reactions relevant to fuel cells;
• Catalysts related to the biorefinery process;
• Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis for organic synthesis;
• Green synthesis using solar photochemistry and photocatalysis;
• Photocatalytic hybrid-systems;
• Photocatalytic, photochemical, and photosynthetic systems for H₂ production and CO₂ utilization;
• Carbon dioxide reforming;
• New materials for all types of  heterogeneously catalyzed reactions;
• Operando spectroscopy for identifying catalytically active sites;

Although papers should report on trends and advances in the field of catalysis across South Korea; collaborative work between South Korean and non-South Korean partners is also 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.
