Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
One of the greatest scientific and engineering challenges of 21st century is the development of sustainable energy technologies to reshape today’s and future energy needs that currently depend on fossil fuels. Among various emerging technologies in this energy transition, electrocatalytic energy conversion systems have shown tremendous potential to be the alternative of fossil fuels due to their ability to harvest renewable energy, e.g., solar and wind in the form of chemical bonds e.g., hydrogen evolution reaction, water splitting, oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, CO2 upgrade, solar fuels, fuels cells, and batteries.
However, a real activity improvement of these technologies requires novel and advanced materials with unique properties (e.g., electronic, structural, and physical properties) that are currently a bottleneck.
The Special Issue is devoted to the applications of nanostructured materials (e.g., novel metal nanoparticles, two-dimensional materials, and metal–organic framework) for electrocatalytic reactions associated with clean energy and controlling their kinetics, rate of the reactions and selectivity in catalytic systems. Original research papers and reviews are invited from fundamental research to applied science in the field of heterogeneous catalysts, surface chemistry, polymer science for reactions essential in the field of clean energy production and renewable energy storage systems.
The Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, developments and applications of nanocatalysts for:
- CO2 reduction reaction,
- CO reduction reaction,
- N2 reduction reaction
- Ammonia synthesis,
- Hydrogen production,
- Hydrogen Oxidation
- Oxygen reduction,
- Oxygen evolution,
- Water splitting
- Metal-air batteries such as Lithium-air and Zinc air batteries
- Seawater batteries
- Redox flow batteries
- Super capacitors

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.
