Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are a strong player in the large-scale energy storage of green grids due to their decoupling of energy and power, decade-long cycle life, and low risk of fire. However, the electrode kinetics are usually slow, limiting their wide deployment. Electrocatalytic materials are needed to reduce the reaction barrier. The RFBs can be further combined with photoelectrochemical cells to directly convert and store solar energy in soluble redox species, rather than the hard-to-store gaseous products in solar water splitting cells. We hope that this Special Issue will provide useful information for researchers and encourage their involvement in this 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. 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.
