10th Anniversary of Catalysts: Achievements in Electrocatalysis for Sustainable Energy Technologies
This special issue belongs to the section "Electrocatalysis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the journal Catalysts, we would like to collect the most recent advances on electrocatalysis for sustainable energy technologies, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, metal–air batteries, photo-electrochemical cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, and bioelectrochemical systems (microbial and enzymatic), among others. It is claimed that such devices will dominate the power supply market in the future sustainable energy economy. The practical efficiencies must still be boosted before many of the aforementioned technologies become viable for large-scale use. In particular, more active, stable, and economically viable electro-catalysts must be developed for the electrocatalytic processes occurring at the practical electrodes of the cells. In this context, the research and development of efficient catalysts are key points to reach this target. Full-length papers, short communications, and review articles are warmly invited for this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 2200 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.
