Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution and energy shortage have become two major challenges in the 21st century, and there is an urgent need for effective ways to address them. Compared to existing treatment technologies, the oxidation–reduction performance of plasma can effectively degrade environmental pollutants, while also converting waste such as CO2 and CH4 into energy sources such as CO or alcohols. However, the problem of low energy utilization has always limited its further application. To address this issue, various forms of plasma-coupled catalysis have been proposed, such as plasma/photocatalysis, plasma/O3 catalysis, plasma/Fenton catalysis, and other catalytic methods. These coupling methods can enhance the utilization rate of plasma’s physical and chemical properties from various perspectives, thus ultimately enhancing the efficiency of pollutant removal and the energy yield. To this end, we have established a Special Issue on plasma catalytic pollutant removal and energy to solicit advanced research plans and perspectives; this is in order to provide more insights into the plasma environment and energy applications.

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.
