Research on High-Efficiency Catalytic Materials for Energy and Environment

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Special Issue of Materials on "Research on High-Efficiency Catalytic Materials for Energy and Environment". This SI aims to highlight recent advances and innovations in catalytic materials for applications in energy conversion and environmental protection.

The use of efficient catalytic materials plays a crucial role in addressing the global challenges of energy production and environmental sustainability. In this context, we aim to focus on the development and characterization of high-efficiency catalytic materials for various energy and environmental applications.

Key topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• Novel synthesis methods and techniques for the preparation of catalytic materials;
• Catalytic materials for energy conversion processes, such as fuel cells, solar cells, and hydrogen production;
• Catalytic materials for environmental applications, including pollution abatement, wastewater treatment, and air purification;
• Advanced characterization techniques for understanding the structure-property relationships of catalytic materials;
• Computational modeling and simulation of catalytic processes and materials
• High-performance catalyst design and optimization strategies;
• Sustainable and eco-friendly approaches for catalyst synthesis and manufacturing.

By exploring these topics, we hope to accelerate the development of high-performance catalytic materials that can address the current energy and environmental challenges.

Researchers are encouraged to submit original research papers, reviews, and communications that contribute to this important and timely field. Thank you for your consideration.

Prof. Dr. Carlos Alberto Martínez-Huitle
Guest Editor

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
