Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issues “Recent Advances in Energy-Related Materials in Catalysts” and “Recent Advances in Energy-Related Materials in Catalysts, 2nd Edition”.
The rapidly developing global economy requires large amounts of energy, and pollution caused by emissions from fossil fuel consumption is causing serious climate problems as a result of the greenhouse effect. Therefore, identifying alternative renewable energy resources and using clean energy efficiently represent urgent issues. This Special Issue will be devoted to all aspects of recent research progress in the design and development of high-efficiency materials for applications in renewable and sustainable energy production, e.g., next-generation fuel cells, batteries, electrolyzers, and solar cells. We invite submissions in the form of original research articles, short communications, and reviews that involve the synthesis of novel materials; investigations into the mechanisms and kinetics behind the electro-oxidation of fuels, such as methanol, ethanol, formic acid, sodium borohydride, and hydrazine; and the conversion of carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen reduction (ORR), oxygen evolution (OER), hydrogen evolution (HER), and carbon dioxide (CO2), among others. This Special Issue will not be limited to the abovementioned topics; we also welcome manuscripts on the latest achievements and challenges and future opportunities in relation to the integration of novel materials into efficient energy conversion and storage systems.

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.
