Carbon, one of the earth's most abundant resources, is finding more and more applications in broad areas of science. Catalysis has felt the benefit of the increasing attention paid to carbon and its uses, with a variety of applications in its field. This includes but is not limited to, carbon-supported heterogenous catalysts, carbon-based homogenous catalysts, carbon reaction mediums, carbon electrodes for electro- and photocatalysis, carbon as a feedstock and many more.
Plasma Catalysis
Submissions open:

Non-thermal plasma is an emerging technology for sustainable chemical production, aiding in the electrification of industrial processes particularly those powered by renewable energy sources. Its benefits include rapid on/off switching and a small footprint. Coupling with catalysis offers greater control over reaction pathways and modulation but controlling specific conversion paths remains challenging due to their complexity. Consequently, the technology is still far from reaching research maturity. Despite progress, understanding the interaction mechanisms between plasma and catalysts, crucial for upscaling, is still not fully understood. This special collection focuses on recent advances in the development of plasma technologies to integrate in energy intensive industries to achieve the ambitious target of zero emissions in the view of a circular carbon economy.
The special collection will include primary research and reviews on the following topics:
- Understanding of plasma surface chemistry in non-thermal plasma assisted catalytic processes for the better design of catalysts in the view of upscaling
- The design of plasma reactors in lab and/or industrial scale
- Non-thermal plasma processes in lab scale and/or under relevant conditions for upscaling (including plasma catalysis, plasma photo- and plasma electro- catalysis)
