Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the issues of energy and the environment are the primary focus of researchers around the world. Low-carbon molecules (C1 and C2) are the foundation of most chemicals. Some low-carbon molecules, including CO2, CO, CH4, CH3OH, etc., are basic low-energy molecules that can be upgraded to high-energy chemicals, which decrease the dependence of energy aquisition on fossil fuels. Some low-carbon molecules like CO, HCHO and VOC, etc., are harmful molecules that endanger the health of humans and thus need to be eliminated as efficiently as possible for the protection of human health.
This Special Issue, entitled "New Catalytic Materials for Low-Carbon Molecules Conversion", covers all aspects of energy and the environment with regard to low-carbon molecules, upgrading their energy values for the production of high-energy chemicals and eliminating their molecules for the mitigtation of air pollution. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of articles addressing new materials with the capacity to aid in energy production and eliminate pollution from low-carbon molecules (C1 and C2). This Special Issue will also encompass material design to theory calculations.

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.
