Recent Advances in Energy-Related Materials in Catalysts, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous Special Issue, “Recent Advances in Energy-Related Materials in Catalysts”, following its great success.

The rapidly developing global economy needs large amounts of energy, and pollution by emissions from fossil fuel consumption is causing serious climate problems as a result of greenhouse effects. Therefore, finding alternative renewable energy resources and using clean energy efficiently are urgent issues. This Special Issue is 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 are pleased to invite submissions in the form of original research articles, short communications, and reviews that involve the synthesis of novel materials; the investigation of the mechanisms and kinetics of the electrooxidation 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 is not limited to the abovementioned topics, but also welcomes manuscripts on the latest achievements, challenges, and future opportunities for the integration of novel materials in 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 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 2700 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.
