Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meeting the requirements of growing industrial production and environmental protection currently poses a significant challenge for reactor designers. Catalytic processes are particularly important, as they can be applied to a variety of energy applications, from traditional fossil fuel production to new, sustainable energy technologies such as hydrogen fuel. Catalytic processes play a key role in shaping energy systems, increasing their efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Modern catalytic reactor should be characterized by a high selectivity and efficiency, combined with a compact size and low energy consumption. The role of the catalyst, i.e., the active layer and its carrier, which have a decisive influence on the efficiency of the process, should also be taken into account. These challenges can be addressed using a wide range of solutions, from reactor modeling to testing in the laboratory or on a larger scale, developing new catalysts or supports.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue dedicated to the exploration, development, optimization, and testing of catalytic reactors, including catalysts and supports, with a particular focus on energy applications. We are seeking papers that offer innovative approaches, extensive validation studies, and practical applications, promoting insightful discussion in this field. Broad contributions, including experimental and computational studies, would be valuable subjects of this Special Issue.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
