(This article belongs to the Special Issue Exclusive Papers of the Editorial Board Members and Topical Advisory Panel Members of Catalysts in Section "Catalytic Materials")
The Special Issue “Exclusive Papers of the Editorial Board Members and Topical Advisory Panel Members of Catalysts in Section “Catalytic Materials” contains 14 peer-reviewed research articles and 1 review paper (Contributions 1–15), which broadly focus on the field of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, with an emphasis on synthesis, physico-chemical characterizations, and applications in several environmental protection reactions, such as CO2 valorization, NOx SCR, removal of VOCs, photocatalysis. These fifteen studies offer in-depth explanations of reactions taking place in gas and liquid phases using different types of reactors—such as fixed bed, plug flow, continuous, and batch reactors (Contributions 1,2,4,6–9,14,15). Moreover, analyses of the reaction products were carried out using gas chromatography, mass spectrometer and high-power liquid chromatography.
The physico-chemical characterization of the catalytic materials is performed using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen physisorption, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photo electron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic absorption and X-ray fluorescence (Contributions 1,3,8,14). Notably, most of the research papers offer detailed descriptions of the correlation between physicochemical characterization results and catalytic performance, thus contributing in-depth interdisciplinary knowledge to this field.
Furthermore, proposed reaction mechanisms, kinetic studies, and catalyst deactivation and regeneration are supported by reliable evidence of catalyst physico-chemical characterizations and the synthesis of catalytic materials. The catalytic materials studied in the published research papers are transition metal oxides, porous oxides, alumino-silicate zeolites, silica, alumina, mesoporous materials, structured micro- and mesoporous materials, and carbon-based materials (Contributions 5,6,8,9,13). Some of these catalytic materials have been synthesized in academic and industrial research laboratories, and their novel methods of synthesis and characterizations are described in these papers, thus enhancing the scientific quality of the published research papers.
In conclusion, the synthesis and characterization of catalytic materials play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of reaction mechanisms, kinetic behaviors, and strategies for dealing with catalyst deactivation. The different types of catalysts studied in this Special Issue highlight ongoing efforts to develop more efficient, durable, and versatile catalysts for industrial and environmental applications.
We are confident that these research articles will be immensely beneficial to distinguished scientists, researchers, and academics engaged in both, academic and industrial laboratories, by providing in-depth insights, innovative methodologies, and comprehensive data that can advance their understanding, foster new research ideas, and enhance practical applications in their respective fields.
