Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electrochemical conversion of H2O and CO2 into value-added products offers a sustainable alternative to fossil-derived chemicals and fuels. Research into molecular and heterogeneous catalysts for such reactions has advanced our understanding of the processes that govern efficiency, selectivity, and current density. Demonstrations incorporating these catalysts in electrochemical cells are required to establish catalytic properties, and also enable determination of the optimal conditions and techniques for real-world devices.
This Special Issue aims to cover advances in applied electrochemistry with molecular and heterogeneous catalysts for water oxidation, organic electro-oxidation, hydrogen evolution, and CO2 reduction. We invite authors to contribute to this issue with not only examples of new catalyst design, but also research involving device engineering, reaction conditions, computational studies, and characterization techniques that will assist the practical integration of electrocatalytic devices in future work.

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.
