Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The increasingly frequent climate events associated with the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere require more concrete actions from society as a whole in relation to this global problem. Therefore, the scientific community has an important role to play in proposing solutions to this serious problem. In this context, this Special Issue of Catalysts will focus on recent advancements in the development of catalysts and technology for CO2 capture, conversion and utilization.

We invite researchers to contribute original research papers, review articles, and short communications related to various aspects of CO2 capture, conversion and utilization. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Catalyst synthesis and characterization;
  • Technology for CO2 capture and utilization;
  • CO2 catalytic conversion;
  • CO2 hydrogenation;
  • CO2 methanation;
  • Methanol synthesis from CO2;
  • CO2 reforming of methane

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.
