In recent years, fossil fuels are considered as the main sources of energy. The excessive utilization and combustion of fossil fuels has led to the increase in the amount of gaseous pollutants, such as SO2, NOx, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), CO2 and so on, in the atmosphere, which can cause the acid rain, photochemical smog, depletion of the ozone layer, and climate change. Thus, it is important to develop the catalytic technology for gaseous pollutant reduction.
Currently, much attention is being given to the development of catalytic technology for gaseous pollutants control, such as selective catalytic reduction catalysts used in NOx abatement, especially as applied to industrial processes. Thus, studies on preparation, characterization, activation, deactivation and regeneration of catalysts used in gaseous pollutants reduction are significant.
Based on this situation, this research topic solicits authors to submit original research papers, reviews and perspectives related to advanced catalytic technology for gaseous pollutant reduction in both industrial and academic fields. These include studies that relate to the synthesis and catalytic function of novel inorganic solids and complexes, such as zeolites, layered double hydroxides, and metal oxides with different morphologies, and theoretical methods of direct interest and impact in the science and applications of catalysts and catalytic processes.
This Research Topic aims to publish Original Research, Review, Mini-review, and Perspective articles covering the recent advanced catalytic technology (catalytic routes and processes) for gaseous pollutant reduction. Submissions cover, but are not limited to, the following themes:
• Synthesis of novel inorganic solids and complexes as catalysts, such as zeolites, layered double hydroxides, and metal oxides with different morphologies
• Selective catalytic reduction of NOx
• Catalytic oxidation of VOCs
• Catalytic conversion of CO2
