Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, carbon dioxide is one of the most significant greenhouse gases. The worldwide accepted sustainable development goals strongly express the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, the current shape of the chemical industry indicates the commitment to processes that lead to emissions of carbon oxides. The most environmentally friendly way of waste management is reuse as a raw material. Among the methods of CO2 reuse, dry reforming (DR) seems to be a very promising technique due to the possibility of synthesising gas with the required products’ molar ratio in the output stream.

Dry reforming takes place in the presence of catalysts. Commercially used catalysts are based on nickel particles due to their high activity and its relatively low price. However, DR reaction conditions favour sintering of the active particles and coking of the catalyst. The size, shape and composition of catalytic materials are crucial factors determining the activity and stability. Therefore, developing new catalysts with a high activity and catalytic stability is undoubtedly still a scientific challenge and of special interest.

The Special Issue will gather research articles and short reviews related to the dry reforming of carbon and hydrogen-containing molecules (e.g., hydrocarbons, diols, alcohols, plastics), including developing new catalysts for DR of desired morphology, investigation of process parameters, investigation of catalysts’ synthesis routes and studies on the stability of materials in under DR conditions. Computational studies on catalysts within the above scope are also welcome.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be 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 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Coking and metal sintering are limitations of large-scale applications of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts in DRM reactions. In this review, several modification strategies to enhance the anti-deactivation property of Ni/Al2O3 are proposed and discussed with the recently developed catalyst systems, including structure and morphology control, surface acidity/basicity, interfacial engineering and oxygen defects. In addition, the structure–performance relationship and deactivation/anti-deactivation mechanisms are illustrated in depth, followed by prospects for future work. Full article
