Heterogeneous Catalyst Deactivation and Regeneration: A Review

Morris D. Argyle, Calvin H. Bartholomew · 26 Feb 2015

Deactivation of heterogeneous catalysts is a ubiquitous problem that causes loss of catalytic rate with time. This review on deactivation and regeneration of heterogeneous catalysts classifies deactivation by type (chemical, thermal, and mechanical) and by mechanism (poisoning, fouling, thermal degradation, vapor formation, vapor-solid and solid-solid reactions, and attrition/crushing). The key features and considerations for each…

Heterogeneous Photocatalysis: Recent Advances and Applications

Alex O. Ibhadon, Paul Fitzpatrick · 1 Mar 2013

Semiconductor heterogeneous photocatalysis, the subject of this review, is a versatile, low-cost and environmentally benign treatment technology for a host of pollutants. These may be of biological, organic and inorganic in origin within water and air. The efficient and successful application of photocatalysis demands that the pollutant, the catalyst and source of illumination are in…

A General Overview of Support Materials for Enzyme Immobilization: Characteristics, Properties, Practical Utility

Jakub Zdarta, Anne S. Meyer, Teofil Jesionowski et al. · 24 Feb 2018

In recent years, enzyme immobilization has been presented as a powerful tool for the improvement of enzyme properties such as stability and reusability. However, the type of support material used plays a crucial role in the immobilization process due to the strong effect of these materials on the properties of the produced catalytic system. A…

Green Synthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles: Applications and Limitations

Pritam Kumar Dikshit, Jatin Kumar, Amit Kumar Das et al. · 26 Jul 2021

The past decade has witnessed a phenomenal rise in nanotechnology research due to its broad range of applications in diverse fields including food safety, transportation, sustainable energy, environmental science, catalysis, and medicine. The distinctive properties of nanomaterials (nano-sized particles in the range of 1 to 100 nm) make them uniquely suitable for such wide range…

Mechanistic Insights into Photodegradation of Organic Dyes Using Heterostructure Photocatalysts

Yi-Hsuan Chiu, Tso‐Fu Mark Chang, Chun-Yi Chen et al. · 9 May 2019

Due to its low cost, environmentally friendly process, and lack of secondary contamination, the photodegradation of dyes is regarded as a promising technology for industrial wastewater treatment. This technology demonstrates the light-enhanced generation of charge carriers and reactive radicals that non-selectively degrade various organic dyes into water, CO2, and other organic compounds via direct photodegradation…

Catalysts template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Catalysts format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Catalysts template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Catalysts use?
Catalysts uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Catalysts 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Catalysts?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Catalysts document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Catalysts template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Catalysts format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Catalysts?
Catalysts - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Catalysts PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Catalysts template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Catalysts template cost?
You can start writing in the Catalysts template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Catalysts PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
