Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The research on non-precious metals in the fields of energy and the environment has garnered considerable attention. Compared to precious metals, non-precious metals exhibit not only excellent catalytic and energy storage performance but also reduce the development and application costs of related technologies. Therefore, research on non-precious metals in the energy and environment sectors is poised not only to drive technological advancements but also to make significant contributions to the establishment of clean and green energy and environmental systems. Given its significance, it is imperative to establish a forum facilitating scholarly discourse among researchers and engineers concerning the advancement of non-precious metals within the realms of energy and the environment.

This Special Issue is devoted to topics including the synthesis, characterization, application, and mechanism analysis of non-precious metals in energy and environmental uses. All studies (experimental and theoretical) falling within the scope of this Special Issue, including original research and review articles, short communications, and perspective articles, are welcome for submission.

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.
