Selective Catalysis for the Sustainable Energies
This special issue belongs to the section “Catalysis for Sustainable Energy“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is a Special Issue focused on the advances in the development of materials and systems for the selective production of value-added chemicals by photo-electro-catalysis. This call includes both experimental and computational strategies to improve the overall performance of the catalytic reactions (reaction rate, product selectivity, durability, energy efficiency) by optimizing the physico-chemical properties of reaction components (catalyst, electrolyte, membrane), operating conditions, and reactor design. We are particularly interested in displacing petrochemical-derived production of chemicals with both photocatalysis and electrocatalysis powered by clean energy. We highly encourage submissions on the development of catalysts and systems for green hydrogen and ammonia production, CO2 and CO reduction, biomass conversion, and upgrading of hydrocarbons to high-value chemicals at industrial conditions.

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.
