Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the continuous increase in global energy demand and the escalating prominence of environmental issues, the exploration of efficient, clean, and sustainable solutions for energy utilization and environmental protection has emerged as an urgent mandate for scientists and engineers worldwide. The research and application of advanced catalysts have become particularly crucial at this juncture. This Special Issue of Catalysts aims to cover the advances on commonly used and emerging catalysts in the field of advanced catalysis for energy and environmental applications. We anticipate expediting the practical application of advanced catalysis technologies, making a positive contribution to the establishment of cleaner and more sustainable energy and environmental systems. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  1. Advanced catalysis for clean energy production or storage
  2. Advanced catalysis for wastewater purification and treatment
  3. Advanced catalysis for air purification
  4. Advanced catalysis for carbon capture and utilization
  5. Advanced catalysis for biomass energy conversion
  6. Advanced catalysis for pollutant removal
  7. Advanced catalysts for environmental remediation
  8. Advanced catalysts for drug synthesis
  9. Advanced catalysts for food processing

Professionals well-versed in these subjects are warmly encouraged to submit their manuscripts to Catalysts. Significant full original papers and review articles are 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. 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.

To satisfy the need for catalyst materials with high activity, selectivity, and stability for energy conversion, material design and discovery guided by theoretical insights are a necessity. In the past decades, the rise in theoretical investigations into the properties of catalyst materials, reaction mechanisms, and catalyst design principles has shed light on the catalysis field. Quantitative structure–activity relationships have been developed through incorporating spectroscopic simulations, electronic structure calculations, and reaction mechanistic studies. In this review, we report the state-of-the-art computational approaches to catalyst materials characterization for supported single-atom and cluster catalysts utilizing spectroscopic simulations, i.e., XANES simulation, and material properties investigation via electronic-structure calculations. Furthermore, approaches regarding reaction mechanisms, focusing on active site heterogeneity, are also discussed. Full article
