Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxygen reduction reaction, as a crucial process in the clean energy and chemical engineering fields, has become one of the hottest topics. Exploiting high-performance catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction is a key to promoting the commercialization of fuel cells, metal-air batteries and hydrogen peroxide electrosynthesis. The ideal electrocatalysts must be of efficient, durable, high selectivity and low-cost. Although some encouraging results have been achieved in recent years, the growing requirement for oxygen reduction reaction catalysts is not yet being met.
This special issue focuses on new insights in the development of advanced and innovative electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction, including but are not limited to unique structure and composition design, novel synthesis strategy exploration, catalytic mechanism comprehension and practical application achievement. Both Original Research and Review articles are welcome.

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.
