Low-carbon energy utilization and environmental purification are important means to realize the sustainable development of human society, which is of significance to alleviate a series of severe challenges such as energy scarcity, environmental degradation, and climate change. Catalytic conversion has been proven to be conductive to improve the efficiency of the above processes, but the key challenge lies in developing new catalytic materials, principles, and approaches for efficient catalytic conversion. To this end, creating advanced catalytic materials and technology is the golden key to opening the door to solving energy and environmental problems.
This Research Topic will showcase the latest developments in environmental and energy catalytic conversion, mainly heterogeneous catalysis, with the purpose of promoting the development of these fields.
We welcome original research, review, mini-review, and perspective papers on areas that may include, but are not limited to:
1) Biomass catalytic conversion and application
2) NOx catalytic reduction
3) Heterogeneous catalytic reactions such as CH4 activation and water-gas shift
4) CO2/CO reduction, N2 conversion and water oxidation
Keywords: energy catalysis, environmental catalysis, industrial catalysis, synthetic strategies, catalytic performance
Important note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
