Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The general studies of catalysts used in environmental pollution abatement have especially focused on those applied in industrial processes. This includes the catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants such as volatile organic compounds, sulfur compounds, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and soot emitted by the chemical or automotive industry. Submissions to this Special Issue should be based on the newest achievements in the synthesis and characterization of catalysts and their application in environmental pollution abatement, especially as applied to industrial processes. The novel catalysts obtained according to the green chemistry rules should be thoroughly characterized before and after their performance in catalytic tests.
Other topics of interest include the application of photocatalysis in the production of clean energy, hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing, and the synthesis of new electrocatalysts for fuel cells. Clean and low-temperature catalytic processes, e.g., new catalytic combustion technologies, in which crude and waste compounds are applied to the preparation of useful chemicals are also of interest, as well as the elimination of toxic compounds in the chemical industry through application of environmentally friendly catalysts.

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.
