Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Zero CO2 balance and pollutant reduction represent the main objectives for sustainability. In the coming years, the overview of the energy conversion scenario is likely to be far from carbon- and pollutant-free, mainly due to the increasing energy demand and the insufficient renewable energy quota. Hence, the transition to more sustainable energy conversion/storage processes is strictly connected to the improvements in catalyst technologies. Carbon capture, NOx abatement, improvements in the gasification of waste, and the optimization of H2 production are the main objectives that can drive the transition to more sustainable energy conversion for transportation, storage and energy systems. In this context, complex physical and chemical processes are involved, whose comprehension is far from being fully understood and controlled. Among others, new materials, continuously reacting flow modeling, thermal storage’s influence on catalytic converters, and photocatalysts have been recently investigated by scientists and engineers.
This Special Issue aims to cover, by means of experimental, numerical and theoretical approaches, the application of catalysts in applied energy technologies to improve the sustainability of energy conversion processes. In this context, contributions on the post-treatment of combustion exhausts and catalysts applied to energy conversion systems are 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. 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.
