Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, humans have faced the issues of global warming and climate change. Renewable energy conversion involves catalytic conversion, thermochemical processing, and photocatalytic reactions to convert biomass, waste, and water into hydrogen, fuels, and chemicals. Furthermore, several strategies have also been developed to handle the removal of environmental pollutants, including catalysis, photocatalysis, adsorption, ion exchange, etc. Engineering novel materials to facilitate chemical or physical reactions is critical to achieving the required applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in materials toward renewable energy and to remove environmental pollutants. It also offers fresh perspectives on developing new materials, including the fundamental exploration of the synthesis, characterization, and application from the laboratory scale to the industrial scale. This Special Issue also encompasses reaction mechanisms, catalysis, photocatalysis, adsorption, ion exchange, kinetic modeling, thermodynamics, process integration, and optimization. Therefore, it aims to be informative and beneficial for scientists, researchers, engineers, and students working in energy and the environment.

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.
