Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nitrogen oxides （NOx）are one of the main pollutants in the atmosphere emitted from the combustion process of fossil fuels, especially from stationary and mobile sources, e.g., coal-fired boilers and vehicles. Limiting NOx emissions has been driven by regional legislation in the EU, the US, China, etc., drawing significant attention to the development of novel and promising flue gas denitrification technologies. The selective catalytic reduction in NOx (SCR) using different reductants, like NH3, hydrocarbons and CO, is considered the most effective technology to eliminate NO emissions. Developing novel catalysts with controllable structure and tailorable morphology is recognized as one of the most challenging strategies in environmental catalysis. Over the past three decades, several categories of catalysts have been investigated, including mixed metal oxides, zeolite, supported noble and rare-earth metals, transition metals supported on pillared interlayer clays (PILCs), porous clay heterostructures (PCHs), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), etc. The reactivity of SCR over these catalysts has been intensively studied. However, there are still many issues related to the mechanism of SCR reactions, and the active sites of these catalysts need to be further investigated.
This Special Issue, Selective Catalytic Reduction in NOx: Latest Advances and Prospects, focuses on the fundamental aspects and physicochemical properties of catalysts, the reactivity of SCR with different reducing agents, including NH3, hydrocarbons and CO, its intermediates and mechanisms. Both experimental studies and theoretical calculations by DFT are welcome.

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.
