Young Researchers in Electrocatalysis

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent advances led by early-career researchers in catalysis and electrocatalysis. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that introduce innovative strategies for catalyst design, enhance reaction selectivity, and improve energy efficiency in key processes such as hydrogen evolution, CO₂ reduction, oxygen reduction, and biomass valorization. Contributions may also explore catalyst synthesis, mechanistic insights, operando characterization, computational modeling, and reactor integration. This collection seeks to provide a dedicated platform for young scientists to showcase their work, foster collaboration, and accelerate the transition towards sustainable chemical and energy systems. By emphasizing novel concepts and emerging technologies, the Special Issue will offer a comprehensive overview of current challenges and future opportunities in (electro)catalysis, promoting the visibility and impact of the next generation of scientific leaders in this vital research area.

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.
