Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current Special Issue is a continuation of the previous successful SI entitled “Catalysts for Sustainable Hydrogen Production: Preparation, Applications and Process Integration”. Hydrogen is considered the most promising energy carrier for the transition to renewable energy sources, and in supporting the electrification of processes which require long-term energy storage. However, a number of problems related to the production, storage and transport of hydrogen are still not fully resolved. Furthermore, hydrogen is a strategic reagent for several production processes, such as hydrocarbon production processes, in addition to playing a role in CO2 capture and use. Thus, a wide range of hydrogen production processes and associated technologies have been identified as alternatives to the conventional unsustainable methods for H2 generation.
This Special Issue mainly refers to innovative options as well as green methods for clean hydrogen generation and application. Both review and original research articles focused on all aspects of heterogeneous catalysis are welcomed; topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Catalytic biofuel reforming;
- Catalytic water–gas shift;
- Catalytic dry reforming;
- New materials for catalytic H2 production;
- Innovative materials for hydrogen storage;
- Catalysts for fuel cells;
- Catalysts for syngas methanation and hydrogenation;
- Carbon capture, storage and utilization;
- Advanced electrolysis;
- Photolysis and biophotolysis of wastes and biomass;
- Thermolysis and biothermolysis of wastes and biomass.

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 2700 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.
