Catalytic Reforming of Light Hydrocarbons

Dear Colleagues,

Reforming has emerged as an advanced process due to its great potential as a green and eco-friendly process for the treatment and mitigation of greenhouse gases and the production of value-added compounds. In this context, the reforming of light hydrocarbons such as methane has been shown to be a prominent method for the generation of useful products such as synthesis gas. Since ancient times, the production of syngas has been known as the most efficient for obtaining the products of the Fischer–Tropsch processand other precious compounds. At present, it has been widely studied in academic research and used in a variety of advanced catalytic applications, including the dry reforming, steam reforming, and oxidative reforming of light hydrocarbons, as well as CO₂ reduction.

This Special Issue, Catalytic Reforming of Light Hydrocarbons, covers the design, preparation, characterization, and catalytic performance of light hydrocarbon reforming using a variety of heterogeneous catalysts. We invite authors to contribute original research and review articles with special emphasis on CH₄, C₂H₄, and CO₂ reduction and environmental remediation.

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.
