Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic reforming is one of the main industrial processes for obtaining a wide variety of products. In particular, hydrogen production by reforming processes (such as steam reforming, dry reforming, and aqueous-phase reforming) has attracted considerable interest. However, by-product formation and catalyst deactivation (in particular, by carbon deposition) are among the main concerns. This Special Issue aims to cover recent trends and advances in different catalytic reforming processes, both conventional and intensified, for hydrogen production. Full research papers, review papers, and short communications are welcome for this Special Issue.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Reforming processes for hydrogen production;
- Steam reforming;
- Autothermal steam reforming;
- Dry reforming;
- Aqueous-phase reforming;
- Plasma reforming;
- Production of renewable hydrogen;
- Valorization of waste, biomass, and biomass derivatives;
- Conventional and intensified processes;
- Development and characterization of new catalytic materials;
- Theoretical studies and modeling;
- Techno-economic evaluation.

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.
