Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrocatalysis, as one of the key technologies for energy conversion and value-added chemical synthesis, enables new possibilities for sustainable and environmentally compatible energy infrastructures. Many common electrocatalysis processes, such as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), and N2 reduction reaction (NRR), have been actively investigated in the past decades. The design and synthesis of high-performance electrocatalysts for these reactions remain critical and urgent challenges.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent developments in novel electrocatalysts, mechanistic insights, energy conversion and storage, environmental remediation, electrosynthesis, and other related areas. Researchers and scholars from academia, research institutions, and industry are encouraged to submit their original research articles, reviews, and perspectives to this Special Issue.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
