The rapid growth of the economy and society has led to an increasing demand for energy and increasing environmental pollution. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find clean and sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. These include above all hydrogen from renewable energies and biomass. The focus of the research topic "Catalysis for Energy Conversion and Green Fuel Synthesis" is on the development of novel functional materials (TiO2, g-C3N4, CdS, COFs, etc.) as catalysts for sustainable energy conversion and fuel synthesis (conversion of biomass and CO2 to syngas, methane, methanol, etc.).
The aim of the Research Topic is to highlight the development and use of renewable energy resources, which includes the following aspects, among others: novel functional materials, energy transfer, energy conversion, and prospects for the future of novel materials in these application areas in the laboratory or in the industry. These contributions will provide inspiration for scientists around the world in this research field.
Contributions to this Research Topic should report on catalysis for energy conversion and the synthesis of green fuels. Research articles, reviews and brief communications are welcome. The scope of the issue encourages an interdisciplinary mix of chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, energy and environmental sciences, including:
1. Catalysis for energy conversion
2. Synthesis of green fuels
3. CO2 usage
4. Photo- and/or electrocatalysis
5. Environmental catalysis
Keywords:
Photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, nanotechnology, semiconductors, porous materials, energy materials, supercapacitors, solar energy, energy storage, energy conversion, hydrogen, water splitting
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.
