Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synthesis of ammonia has been one of the milestones of catalysis for over 100 years. It is a vital chemical compound that serves as a cornerstone in various industries, such as agriculture and the production of fertilizers and as a future fuel for the shipping industry, as well as a critical component in the manufacturing of various chemicals and materials. Within the realm of scientific exploration, the synthesis and characterization of ammonia synthesis catalysts play a pivotal role. We are seeking to collect manuscripts by leading researchers in the field that investigate how various formulations of ammonia synthesis catalysts have different catalytic activities. Also, manuscripts that focus on the mechanism for ammonia synthesis and the identification of intermediates are relevant to this Special Issue, especially with the use of in situ and operando techniques. Both experimental and computational studies are welcome. These catalyst studies may optimize the efficiency, sustainability and performance of ammonia synthesis.

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. Crystals 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
