Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As interest in fuel cells grows, economical hydrogen supply is becoming an important issue. Ultimately, it would be desirable to produce electricity or generate hydrogen through electrolysis of water using renewable energy. However, it is realistic to produce hydrogen by chemically converting fossil fuel in the present or near future. In this process, some carbon monoxide is inevitably contained in the hydrogen, and it is expected that selective removal of carbon monoxide will contribute to the commercialization of the hydrogen fuel cells. In this special issue, we want to construct an overview of the results of various studies on various catalyst systems for removing carbon monoxide remaining in hydrogen. Therefore, we will focus on theoretical approaches to catalytic oxidation, selective catalytic hydrogenation, or carbon monoxide removal through membrane-associated catalysis, as well as research papers on various approaches including practical catalyst studies.

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.
