Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Synthesis of novel metal nanomaterials has emerged as one of the leading topics of electrocatalysis in recent years. This great interest in nanomaterial arises not only from the enlargement of the catalytic surface area but also from the controllable composition, size, and morphology, possibly substantially improving the reaction efficiency and reducing the material cost. Accordingly, catalytic applications of the advanced metal nanomaterials are extensively explored in various electrochemical redox reactions, such as oxygen reduction, liquid fuel oxidation, hydrogen evolution, and oxygen evolution.
This special issue aims to explore the most recent advances of metal nanomaterials in the field of electrocatalysis. Such metal nanomaterials include, but are not limited to, metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, and perovskites.

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.
