Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to submit a research article for consideration in the field of “Plasma Catalysis Method in Catalytic Process” to a Special Issue of Molecules.
The plasma catalysis method has shown strong potential to drive numerous important reactions including CO2 conversion, functional nanomaterial synthesis, hydrocarbon reforming, and ammonia production. In recent years, the combination of using plasmas to activate the reactant gas and the use of suitable catalysts has been utilized to achieve significantly higher reactant conversions and better product selectivity in a milder condition in comparison to conventional catalysis. However, further advancement of the field requires a mechanistic understanding of the complex synergistic interaction between the plasma and the catalyst leading to the enhancement of different reactions. Understanding physicochemical mechanisms of plasma–catalyst interactions using a combination of experiments and theoretical calculations will help us to design cost-effective, highly active and stable catalysts tailored to the plasma environment, which is still one of the main challenges in the field.
This Special Issue in Molecules aims to showcase the broad, diverse range of topics including innovative applications, fundamental studies, experimental and computational work related to the field of plasma catalysis. Original research papers, review articles and short communication letters are all welcome.

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. Molecules 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 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.
