Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-increasing demand for energy and the negative environmental impacts imposed by using fossil fuels have called for efficient energy conversion and storage technologies. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and lithium air (oxygen) batteries are among the most promising technologies to answer this call. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a cathode reaction in PEMFCs and lithium-oxygen batteries. The sluggish ORR requires the development of highly-efficient ORR catalysts before these technologies are viable and can be widely deployed in the market. Consequently, tremendous research efforts have been made in ORR catalysts and many highly-active and stable catalysts have emerged. This Special Issue aims to cover recent progress and trends in synthesizing, characterizing and evaluating advanced electrocatalysts for ORR, as well as a theoretical understanding of ORR that provides rational design guides for high performance ORR catalysts.

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 papers will be 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. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1000 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.
