Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing demand for clean energy has caused a disruption in the need and supply balance within the energy sector. This has driven an extensive search for alternative energy sources, more efficient methods of energy production, and efficient means of storing the produced energy. The generation of hydrogen, oxygen and syngas through electrocatalytic processes could solve this challenge, as it offers a sustainable way to store green energy. The Special Issue, titled "Electrocatalysts for the Production of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Syngas", aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in the field of electrocatalysis for hydrogen, oxygen and syngas production. It should also help in addressing the energy storage challenges.
The Special Issue invites submissions of original research articles, reviews and perspectives covering various aspects of electrocatalysts for the production of hydrogen, oxygen and syngas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the design, synthesis and characterisation of electrocatalysts; mechanisms of electrocatalytic reactions; the development of new electrocatalytic processes; and the application of electrocatalysts in fuel cells, electrolysers and syngas reactors. Additionally, the issue welcomes contributions that highlight the challenges and opportunities associated with the commercialisation of electrocatalytic processes and technologies.
In conclusion, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field of electrocatalysis for hydrogen and oxygen production, as well as the production of syngas, and to foster new insights and ideas for future research and development in this important and rapidly advancing area of research and science.

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.
