Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, energy and environmental issues have become increasingly prominent worldwide. The efficient catalytic conversion of fuels to prepare various energy chemicals and hydrogen is an important way to solve energy and environmental problems and has received widespread attention. There are various forms of hydrogen production through fuel catalytic conversion, including the commonly used heterogeneous fuel steam/oxygen reforming for hydrogen production, biomass gasification for hydrogen production, cracking for hydrogen production, boron ammonia/formic acid decomposition to produce hydrogen, propane dehydrogenation for hydrogen production, and fuel homogeneous conversion for hydrogen production. Catalysts/catalytic materials play a crucial role in the catalytic conversion of fuel to hydrogen. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to discuss the mechanisms and current state of catalysts in the application of such a conversion.
This Special Issue "New Insights into Catalysis for Hydrogen Production and Fuel Conversion" focuses on the preparation, characterization, performance, and mechanism analysis of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts in the conversion of fuel to hydrogen. All research (experiment and theory) within the scope of this Special Issue, including original research and review articles, short exchanges and opinion articles, is 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.
