Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrogen, as an efficient and low-carbon energy carrier and a green and clean industrial raw material, has attracted increasing attention in various fields, such as transportation, industry, construction, and electricity. Hydrogen is an important carrier for energy terminals to achieve green and low-carbon transformation, and it is also a key development direction for strategic emerging industries. Developing low-cost and efficient hydrogen storage and transportation technologies is a necessary guarantee for achieving large-scale hydrogen applications. Reversible dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions are potential reactions for hydrogen storage systems through various organic hydrogen carriers. For catalytic dehydrogenation reaction, this Special Issue aims to address the challenges and opportunities for reversible dehydrogenation and hydrogenation in heterogeneous catalysis. We will identify and showcase the latest developments in alkane/alcohol/carbazole dehydrogenation, unsaturated hydrocarbon (aromatic/olefins) hydrogenation, CO2 hydrogenation, etc. We encourage original research submissions, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspectives that address the experimental and theoretical aspects of heterogeneous catalysis for efficient dehydrogenation and hydrogenation.

Specific subjects include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The development of highly active catalysts for dehydrogenation and hydrogenation;
  • Theoretical calculations and microkinetic modeling to elucidate mechanisms for dehydrogenation and hydrogenation;
  • Advanced characterization techniques for dehydrogenation and hydrogenation.

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.
