We are delighted to announce a call for papers for our latest themed collection across Nanoscale Advances and Catalysis Science & Technology on Advanced Catalytic Materials for Energy and Environmental Applications guest edited by Dr Kalliopi Kousi(University of Surrey, UK), Dr Eleonara Cali (Politechnical di Torino, Italy), Dr Manuel Ramos Murillo (Universidad Autónoma of Ciudad Juárez, México), Dr Raúl Pérez Hernández (Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares, México) & Dr Quan Li, Honourary Guest Editor (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China)
This new special collection, hosted across Nanoscale Advances and Catalysis Science & Technology, is in conjunction with symposia held at IMRC Cancun in August 2024.
We invite submissions of original research articles & 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.
Articles can be submitted at any time before the deadline via the relevant journal online submission system. Please see the journals’ webpages linked above for more information on their scope, standards, article types and author guidelines.
Please note that all submissions will be subject to initial assessment and rigorous peer review to meet the usual high standards of the journals and acceptance is not guaranteed.
Open for submissions until 31 March 2025.
