Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrocatalytic processes play a central role in advancing sustainable electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies. The development of efficient, stable and cost-effective electrocatalysts is essential for addressing global energy and environmental challenges. In this context, advanced nanomaterials have emerged as promising platforms owing to their unique structural, electronic and surface properties, which enable enhanced electrocatalytic performance. This Special Issue welcomes recent advances in electrocatalysis for energy-related applications, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) as well as electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors. Particular attention is given to the design strategies of nanostructured electrocatalysts, including morphology control, defect engineering, heteroatom doping and the construction of hybrid and composite materials. These approaches have been highlighted as effective routes to improve activity, selectivity and durability.
We look forward to receiving and sharing your innovative research studies.

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.
