Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is indispensable as an ecofriendly energy and energy storage media. Owing to environmental problems, such as air pollution, global warming, and fine dust, there is currently a growing need to move away from a carbon-based society dominated by fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas to a sustainable hydrogen-based society. Moreover, hydrogen has received attention as an alternative energy because it can be applied to various areas such as transport fuel, industrial heat source, and raw material of chemical products. Hydrogen can be produced from various processes, such as coal gasification, methane reforming, water electrolysis, NH3 cracking, etc.
As to a typical natural gas reforming reaction, there is steam methane reforming, dry (CO2) reforming of methane, and partial oxidation of methane. Various research works have been steadily conducted to address the deactivation problems for coking and sintering of reforming catalyst. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit original research and review articles that seek improvement of catalytic performance and stability for reforming reactions.
The potential topics in this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Advances in reforming catalysts;
- Catalyst deactivation: coking, sintering, poisoning;
- Manufacture of reforming catalyst and operation in scale-up process;
- Metal structured catalysts (monolith, foam) for hydrogen production;
- Hydrogen production process via various feed such as coal, biomass, LOHC (liquid organic hydrogen carriers), ammonia, etc.

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.
