Catalytic Hydrolysis Reaction: Theory, Methods and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The main topic of the Special Issue “Catalytic Hydrolysis Reaction: Theory, Methods, and Applications” will focus on the research of catalytic hydrolysis reactions for energy generation, such as hydrogen generation, biomass energy, and solar energy, etc. Papers related to the development of new materials for the hydrolysis reaction are welcome. Moreover, we sincerely welcome paper submissions concerning the theory of new catalytic hydrolysis reactions for energy generation and new methods for applications of hydrolysis for energy generations. Theoretically, computational models allow experimenters to simulate phenomena and interactions beyond what could be observed in the real world. Environmentally, some metallic wastes (e.g., aluminum waste, and magnesium alloy waste) are recently considered as energy materials employing hydrolysis in specific solutions. Contributions of papers on the above specific topic are also encouraged.

A list of topics related to the Special Issue includes the following. Nevertheless, interested authors are encouraged to expand beyond these, if the work falls within the scope of the Special Issue:

• The catalytic hydrolysis reaction of metallic wastes for energy production and/or hydrogen generation

• Theoretical computation and simulation models of hydrolysis reaction for energy production

• Energy production after catalytic hydrolysis reaction by new methods
  
  
• New applications of catalytic hydrolysis reaction for energy production

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.
