Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issues “Catalysis on Stable Molecules (CO2, CO, CH4, N2, NH3) Activation and Their Transformation” and “Catalysis on Stable Molecules (CO2, CO, CH4, N2, NH3) Activation and Their Transformation, 2nd Edition”.
C1 gases, including CO, CO2, and CH4, can serve as starting materials for the synthesis of value-added chemicals via several catalytic pathways. In particular, CO2 and CH4 are greenhouse gases, and their conversion to valuable chemicals is of great importance. However, due to the stable chemical nature of these compounds, there is an urgent need for catalytic research on their efficient chemical conversion. In addition, N2 is also a very stable compound and has received much attention within green ammonia synthesis through reaction with green hydrogen. Hydrogen production through catalytic decomposition of NH3 is also expected to contribute significantly to realization of the hydrogen economy. In addition, various chemical reactions involving NH3 are also important for fine chemicals. In this Special Issue of Catalysis, we present recent advances in the activation and catalytic conversion of these stable molecules. The scope of this Special Issue of Catalysis covers all aspects of catalytic research on these stable molecules, from theoretical calculations to catalyst screening for homogeneous and/or heterogeneous catalysts. It also includes not only traditional thermal catalysis, but also electrochemical catalysis, photocatalysis, and photoelectrochemical catalysis.

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 2200 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.
