Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of various materials, including metal-based catalysts, zeolites, and composite materials. Research investigates their application in chemical transformations such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, hydroprocessing of polymers and heavy oils, alkylation reactions, oxidative dehydrogenation, and CO2 hydrogenation. The studies often explore how catalyst composition, preparation methods, and reaction conditions influence product selectivity and activity.
