Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has led to various severe issues; thus, many efforts have been made to reduce greenhouse gases, with a main focus on CO2 and CH4. The dry reforming (DR) of methane is a popular research topic in which CO2 is employed as reforming agent. This process not only reduces two types of greenhouse gas but also provides syngas production, which can be utilized as an important feedstock for chemical industry and hydrogen resources. DR is not regarded as an industrially mature process, despite its apparent economic and environmental benefits. The major obstacle preventing the commercialization of DR is that carbon formation and sintering quickly deactivate conventional reforming catalysts.
This Special issue will gather research articles and short reviews mainly related to the development of new catalysts (synthesis routes, morphology, materials, mechanism, etc.), the investigation of process parameters, studies on catalyst stability under DR conditions, and designs of reactors and processed with CFD modeling and process optimization. Additionally, it will include the steam reforming (SR) and steam CO2 reforming (SCR) of methane for the production of syngas, and CO2 neutralization with hydrogen produced from water electrolysis using surplus electricity.

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.
