Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of human society, the demand for energy and chemicals is increasing day by day. This demand leads to the consumption of large quantities of fossil energy, and causes several kinds of environmental pollution. One of the feasible ways to solve the energy and environmental crisis is to use renewable energy to produce green energy and chemicals, alongside the implementation of environmental governance.
The combination of low-temperature plasma and catalysis, so called plasma catalysis, is a promising and emerging strategy for the production of hydrogen, fuels and chemicals, and for the treatment of environmental pollutants in both water and air, using renewable energy.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in the production of hydrogen, green fuels and chemicals, and in the treatment of VOCs and organic pollutants in water.

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.
