Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catalytic CO2 conversion is a promising route to reducing CO2 emission and providing valuable chemicals and fuels. However, the traditional CO2 conversion process usually suffers from high reaction temperature and large energy consumption. To achieve a carbon-neutral CO2 conversion process, it is necessary to drive CO2 conversion by using renewable energies such as solar energy, wind, and/or renewable hydrogen and electricity. Therefore, CO2 catalytic conversion including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and thermalcatalysis has attracted wide attention and will play a more important role in the near future. This Special Issue welcomes both review and original research articles on all aspects of catalytic CO2 conversion.
This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to:
- Development of novel catalysts with high efficiency, electivity, and stability;
- Novel catalytic CO2 conversion pathways and technologies;
- Mechanistic and kinetic understanding of CO2 catalytic conversion;
- Design and development of novel reactors for photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, thermalcatalysis, etc.;
- Integrated approaches combining CO2 capture, conversion , production separation , and/or reactant recycling;
- Technical-economic analysis of technologies for catalytic CO2

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 2700 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.
