Advanced catalytic materials for energy and environmental applications

This new special collection, hosted across Nanoscale Advances and Catalysis Science and Technology, is in conjunction with symposia held at IMRC Cancun in August 2024. 

We invite submissions of original research articles and review articles that delve into fundamental principles and practical applications, including but not limited to:

• Chemical synthesis and evaluation of catalytic materials to support clean liquid fuels production, environmental catalysis and remediation
• Bulk and nanoscale catalytic materials for hydrogen production in fuel cells by electrocatalytic processes, conversion of biomass, energy storage and organic electrosynthesis (Photocatalytic materials, Electro-catalytic materials and Single-Atom Catalysts)
• Controlled synthesis and scaling of MOFs, metal nanoparticles, etallocenes, ionic liquids, transition metal carbides, phosphides, nitrides and sulfides catalytic materials
• In situ studies of synthesis and/or activation of catalytic materials during pretreatment
• Application of advanced characterization techniques including in situ/operando methodologies by atomic force, scanning tunneling electron microscopy (SEM, STEM, TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Synchrotron Radiation, Raman, and Mössbauer spectroscopies
• Computational modelling and AI/machine-learning approaches for catalytic materials, reactions and mechanisms.
