Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, simple replacements with batteries or different energy conversion technologies will not enable all energy and industrial sectors to adapt to the transition towards “zero-carbon” goals. The Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) process, in which syngas (CO/H2) is converted into a complex multi-component mixture consisting of linear and branched hydrocarbons and oxygenated products, has become a promising route to reduce the dependence on crude oil. The configuration of the FTS process with syngas generation technologies, such as biomass/waste gasification, biogas reforming, co-electrolysis CO2 and H2O via solid oxide electrolysis cells, photothermal reduction of CO2 with solar energy coupling with H2O electrolysis, etc., has become a promising and sustainable route for carbon neutrality.
This Special Issue in Reactions aims to collect recent developments of catalysis for FTS and processes involved in FTS technology. The topics for catalyst preparation and pretreatment methods and/or process synthesis for tuning the product distribution toward the designed target products, such as short/long chain building block olefins and oxygenates, aviation fuels, diesel/gasoline fuels, base oil or soft wax, etc., are all welcomed.
All researchers working in the field are invited to contribute to this Special Issue, and review articles by experts in the field are also welcomed.

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. Reactions is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
