About This Topic
This invitation is for contributions to a special issue dedicated to the cutting-edge field of computational design of materials and catalysts, pivotal for energy sustainability. With a backdrop of global energy challenges—rising consumption, CO2 emissions, and diminishing fossil fuel reserves—the need for environmentally friendly, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions has become paramount. The key aspects of this special issue include:
Emergence of Computational and AI-Driven Approaches: Highlighting recent strides in density functional theory (DFT) and high-performance computing, the issue underscores their role in accurately simulating catalytic reactions, a crucial step for aligning theoretical models with experimental outcomes. Furthermore, it emphasizes the shift towards AI and machine learning (ML) in the discovery of novel materials, positioning these technologies at the forefront of catalytic design.
Scope of Research Topics: We invite original research and review articles focusing on research relevant to sustainable energy. Some example topics include: Reduction of CO2 to various fuels, Conversion of N2 to NH3, Innovations in hydrogen storage and water splitting.
Aims and Objectives: The issue aims to bring together a diverse range of high-quality, innovative research that contributes to the development of sustainable energy solutions through computational material and catalyst design. Special consideration will be given to research utilizing ML in catalysis, reflecting the growing importance of data-driven approaches in the field.
Target Audience: This call invites contributions from researchers, academics, and professionals working in the areas of computational chemistry, material science, chemical engineering, and related fields, who are exploring sustainable solutions to global energy challenges.
Impact and Relevance: This special issue aims to create a comprehensive platform for sharing breakthroughs in computational and AI-driven methods for catalyst and material design. It seeks to inspire further research and collaboration in this vital area of sustainable energy development.
By contributing to this special issue, authors will have the opportunity to showcase their work in a critical area of scientific development and contribute to the global pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
