Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The surge in the demand for energy and the continuous increase in the quantity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are one of the major challenges faced by humanity today. Catalysis plays an essential role in mitigating this issue by producing clean fuels and it has been identified as a pillar for creating green and sustainable chemical processes. In the past few decades, significant research efforts have been devoted in the techniques for the design and synthesis of new heterogeneous catalysts for bringing about a reduction in greenhouse gases, the production of H2 and syngas technologies, and a reduction in the NOx and soot production for clean combustion engines. This Special Issue invites original papers on the latest research activities on the “design and synthesis of metal nanocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.” We also invite review articles that include a survey of the state-of-the-art design and applications of metal nanocatalysts for emerging applications.
This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to:
- Heterogeneous catalysis;
- Hydrogen generation and storage;
- CO2 reduction;
- Solar fuels;
- Photocatalysis/plasmonic catalysis;
- Renewable energy;
- Pollutant degradation.

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.
