Electrocatalysts: Recent Advances and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Electrocatalysis, the science of accelerating electrochemical reactions using catalysts, holds pivotal significance in various fields including energy conversion, environmental protection, and industrial processes. The development of efficient and stable electrocatalysts has become pivotal in advancing technologies such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and metal/air batteries, aiming to address global challenges in sustainable energy and environmental preservation. This Special Issue delves into recent advancements and applications in the realm of electrocatalysis, elucidating novel materials, synthesis methodologies, and mechanistic insights driving progress in this domain. By exploring cutting-edge research and breakthroughs, this collection seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in electrocatalyst development and its diverse applications, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and inspiring future innovations in the field.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
