Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical technologies including batteries, fuel cells, and electrocatalysis represent effective strategies to reduce today’s dependence on fossil fuels. Tremendous efforts have been devoted to both batteries and electrocatalysis to improve the performance of the devices. However, their application in large scale is still limited. One promising approach is to integrate the insights and design from batteries and electrocatalysis. To bridge the gap between batteries and electrocatalysis, the present issue will cover various topics related to batteries and electrocatalysis. Specifically, the following topics will be covered: 1) battery related transition metal oxides for oxygen evolution reaction and CO2 reduction, 2) characterizations for batteries and electrocatalysis, 3) system-level integration of batteries and electrocatalysis, 4) electrolyte engineering for batteries and electrocatalysis, 5) theoretical understanding from batteries to electrocatalysis.

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.
