Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent years have witnessed fascinating developments in various fields of catalysis as well as the stepwise transformation of scientific progress into novel technologies, which as a rule exhibit not only a substantially enhanced catalytic performance but are also friendly towards energy production and the environment. The field of heritage conservation, with all its traditionalism and multidisciplinarity, also profited from this development. However, the specific features of this field have led to a considerable scattering of the literary sources and a lack of mutual information between all the relevant subjects.

This Special Issue should help to overcome these problems. It provides an opportunity to create a compendium of the novel methods, which will not only boost further scientific progress in the field of green energy production but also provide researchers with a useful literary overview. It is focused on advanced solutions to fundamental problems in designing novel catalytic materials for energy and environmental applications, the perceptions of which are often far ahead of their solutions.

I cordially invite you to submit your contribution to this Issue, whose topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Efficient heterogeneous catalysis for green energy production from energy storage materials (ammonia borane, formic acid, batteries, fuel cells, etc.);
  • Fuel cell and battery applications;
  • Flexible fuel cells and solar fuel cells;
  • Fiber-based lightweight fuel cells and applications in garment heating;
  • Novel hydrogen storage materials and their mechanisms for hydrogen production;
  • Novel applications of hydrogen energy (e.g., flexible devices, textiles and fabrics, and smart devices);
  • The use of single-atom strategy for energy production;
  • Process simulation and economics for energy production from energy storage materials;
  • The recycling process for spent energy storage materials and its techno-economic assessment;
  • Mechanistic study of energy storage materials using density functional theory.

Both research and review articles are 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.
