Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Designing multimetallic electrocatalysts with or without minimal use of noble metal is crucial for developing economically affordable, clean and sustainable energy technologies. In recent years, intense efforts have been made for the rational design of low-cost multimetallic electrocatalysts, including combined experimental and theoretical approaches to understand the structure–property relationships, and to identify important factors (such as surface structure, strain, adsorption property) governing the superior performance of multimetallic electrocatalysts. This approach has revolutionized the field of catalysts by exponentially increasing the catalytic activity over the last decade.
This Special Issue on “Multimetallic Electrocatalysts” focuses on the recent experimental and theoretical advances that will enrich our knowledge to develop ultra-high performance size- and shape-controlled multimetallic electrocatalysts (with or without precious noble metal) for the fuel cell. We are also interested in (but not limited to) the influence of morphology, surface structure or composition, and strain on the long-term stability and thus activity of electrocatalysts, which are essential parameters limiting the performance of fuel cells. Additionally, novel experimental and theoretical approaches to understand the catalytic reaction kinetics on multimetallic electrocatalysts (in situ and operando characterization) are encouraged.

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.
