Dear Colleagues,

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with ammonia is widely considered to be a leading method for NOx abatement. Although it has been successfully implemented for several decades, it is still very much the focus of ongoing catalytic research, which aims to expand the applicability and improve the efficiency of the SCR process. Through designing novel catalysts and formulating new insights concerning relations between catalysts’ structure, nature of active sites, and activity in realistic conditions (i.e., different operating temperatures, presence of poisoning agents, etc.), the potentials of SCR are constantly being developed. This Special Issue is the second volume dedicated to novel trends in selective catalytic reduction, with a focus on, but not limited to, the following:

• Fundamental research on the reaction mechanisms of the SCR process;
• Novel catalysts for the SCR of NOx;
• Poisoning of SCR catalysts and anti-poisoning design;
• New deNOx approaches for low temperature applications;
• Expanding SCR for the simultaneous abatement of NOx and other pollutants;
• Computational research for SCR catalyst design.

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.
