Dear Colleagues,
Our journal is pleased to publish a Special Issue in honor of Professor Gerhard Ertl for his 85th birthday. Prof. Ertl (born 10 October 1936) is a German physicist and a Professor emeritus at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in Berlin, Germany. He was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his study of chemical processes on solid surfaces. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that Prof. Ertl’s research laid the foundation of modern surface chemistry, which has helped to explain how fuel cells produce energy without pollution, how catalytic converters clean up car exhausts, etc. Moreover, his research has helped to explain why the ozone layer is thinning.In honor and recognition of Professor Gerhard Ertl’s outstanding career contributions to the field of heterogeneous catalysis, this Special Issue of Catalysts welcomes the submission of original research manuscripts or reviews in this area. We plan to receive submissions from now to 10 October 2021. Manuscripts will be published online on an ongoing basis after being processed.
“This Special Issue is dedicated to honor Professor Gerhard Ertl for his 85th birthday, a key figure in the topic of heterogeneous catalysis.” Authors are invited to add this sentence in the acknowledgement of their contributions.
