Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogenation is one of the most intensively studied topics in energy and environmental catalysis, and it can be widely used to produce key intermediates for the modern petrochemical, fine chemical, agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is worth noting that the long-term sustainable development of hydrogenation primarily relies on the development of high-performance catalysts and catalytic reaction process, which are expected to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and the associated environmental concern.
In the past few years, we have witnessed rapid developments in catalysts (homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzyme), characterizations (ex situ and in situ), reaction processes (thermal-catalysis, photo-catalysis and electro-catalysis) and hydrogenation mechanisms. Herein, this Special Issue aims to cover the recent progress of the developments of hydrogenation catalysts and reaction processes. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) The development of new catalytic materials;
(2) In situ characterizations of catalysts and reaction intermediates;
(3) Photo-(electro-) hydrogenation processes and reactor design;
(4) Fundamental reaction mechanisms/pathways studies in the hydrogenation industries.
We sincerely hope that we will receive many submissions and contribute our best for obtaining a good Special Issue of Catalysts.

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.
