Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Progress in the development and applications of novel chemical power sources is induced in the actual period by a rapid increase in requirements towards their characteristics. This advance can only be achieved founded on deep knowledge of the mechanisms of their current-generating reactions as well as of accompanied processes of the mass and heat transport at the “molecular level”, i.e., in terms of elementary interactions between components of the system: reagents, reaction products, and auxiliary species.
This issue is oriented towards the publication of articles devoted to deep analyses of the underlying processes, including mechanisms of coupled electrochemical and/or chemical processes and accompanying physicochemical phenomena in relation to chemical power sources of various types and destinations, description of homogeneous or/and heterogeneous catalytic processes, transmembrane transport of components of electrolyte solutions of both electrodes across the separator, as well as optimization of functional and construction materials of these systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
