Heterogeneous Catalytic Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications for Energetic Purposes
This special issue belongs to the section "Catalytic Materials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid catalytic materials play a key role in the development of industrial chemistry, showing important advantages over liquid materials thanks to their easier separation from the reaction liquid medium, their reusability and stability, and their environmentally-friendly character. This Special Issue is focused on the actual and potential application of heterogeneous catalysts for energetic purposes, as biofuels synthesis and H2 production through biomass, waste, biogas or CO2 conversion with specific interest towards innovative procedures of synthesis or catalytic formulations and chemicophysical characterization tecniques. For example, in situ and operando characterization techniques represent a suitable tool to identify and quantify the nature and functionality of surface adsorption active sites and, therefore, for correlating the catalytic behavior with the surface properties of the investigated systems. Based on this, by considering the importance of heterogeneous catalytic processes in the field of green chemistry, efficiency, sustainability, and environmental safety, it is my pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers or short reviews and communication for the Special Issue “Heterogeneous Catalytic Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications for Energetic Purposes”.

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-anonymized 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.
