Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Presently, catalysts are widely used materials for a variety of applications, including energy storage, oxygen evolution reactions, photocatalysis, hydrogen production, waste water treatment, dye-sensitized solar cells, electrochemical sensors, fuel cells, etc. In particular, two-dimensional (2D) materials, layered materials, and their composites exhibit excellent catalytic properties. Two-dimensional and layered materials, including metal oxides, graphene, MXenes, layered double hydroxides (LDH), etc., have reasonable catalytic properties and can be explored for various optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of 2D materials, layered structures, and their hybrid composites for various optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications. The research topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Two-dimensional and layered materials;
- Materials synthesis and applications;
- Catalysis;
- Photocatalysis;
- Electrocatalysis;
- OER;
- HER;
- Energy storage;
- Hydrogen production;
- Fuel cells.
Original research articles and comprehensive review articles (both experimental and theoretical studies) in the field of catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis are welcomed.

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.
