Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As Section Editor-in-Chief of section “Electrocataysis”, I am glad to announce this Special Issue “Feature Review Papers in Electrocatalysis”. Review papers in all the areas of interest covered by “Electrocatalysis”  will be welcome.

This Special Issue aims to collect submissions of all types of reviews in the following areas, as long as they meet Catalysts journal scope:

  • Mechanisms and kinetics of electrochemical reactions;
  • Electrochemical reactions in fuel cells, electrolysers, metal–air batteries, other energy conversion or storage devices;
  • Electrosynthesis, organic electrochemistry, and electrocatalytic hydrogenation;
  • Electrochemical conversion of CO2;
  • Electrode reactions occurring in electrochemical sensors;
  • Electrochemical reactions taking place on an electrode surface.

Dr. Vincenzo Baglio
Guest Editor

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. 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 2700 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.

The global issue for proton exchange membrane fuel cell market development is a reduction in the device cost through an increase in efficiency of the oxygen reduction reaction occurring at the cathode and an extension of the service life of the electrochemical device. Losses in the fuel cell performance are due to various degradation mechanisms in the catalytic layers taking place under conditions of high electric potential, temperature, and humidity. This review is devoted to recent advances in the field of increasing the efficiency and durability of electrocatalysts and other electrode materials by introducing structured carbon components into their composition. The main synthesis methods, physicochemical and electrochemical properties of materials, and performance of devices on their basis are presented. The main correlations between the composition and properties of structured carbon electrode materials, which can provide successful solutions to the highlighted issues, are revealed. Full article
