Fabrication of Hybrid Materials for Catalysis

Dear Colleagues,

Hybrid materials have been explored as potential catalysts in many heterogeneous catalysis applications, such as photo/electrochemical water splitting, carbon dioxide capture and reduction, pollutant remediation, capacitive desalination, hydrodesulfurization of petroleum, organic molecule transformations, battery and energy storage, sensing technology, etc. Herein, we invite authors to contribute their original research articles or comprehensive review articles covering the most recent progress and new developments in the synthesis and utilization of hybrid materials for highly efficient and novel processes associated with catalytic applications in chemical synthesis, energy storage and conversion, environment remediation, and sustainability. This Special Issue aims to cover a broad range of subjects from the synthesis of hybrid materials to the design and technologies with material integration. The article type includes full papers, communications, and reviews. Potential topics include but are not limited to: 

• Hybrid materials development, synthesis, and fabrication for catalytic reactions; 
• Design and preparation of novel nanotextured/nanostructured surfaces for improved energy storage and conversion efficiencies; 
• Low-dimensional materials or composites for catalysis applications; 
• Green techniques for hybrid materials processing; 
• Nanomaterial-based technologies for environmental and sustainable catalysis issues; 
• Hybrid materials for sensing technology; 
• Other studies of nanoscience and nanotechnology associated with catalysis and sustainability.
