Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the pursuit of sustainable development and addressing the pressing challenge of climate change, the transition to a carbon-neutral economy has become a global imperative. Catalysis plays a crucial role in various industrial applications, including energy production, chemical manufacturing, and environmental remediation. Catalysts offer a promising pathway to enhance efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of industrial processes by accelerating chemical reactions with minimal energy input and reducing the formation of unwanted by-products. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research breakthroughs, innovations, and applications of catalytic technologies that contribute to achieving carbon neutrality.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Catalytic Processes for Carbon Neutralization”, is now open for submissions. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. The main topics covered will include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Catalytic processes for the control of environmental pollutants and resourceful utilization of wastes;
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies;
- Hydrogen production and utilization;
- Green chemistry and sustainable catalytic processes;
- Industrial applications of catalytic processes for carbon neutrality;
- Biomass conversion and biofuel production.
If you would like to submit papers to this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house editor, Ms. Rita Lin (rita.lin@mdpi.com).

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 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.
