Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the Guest Editor for the Special Issue “Advances in Electrocatalyst Materials for Sustainable Applications”, by Crystals (MDPI, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals), I am pleased to invite you to contribute a review or research article, given your significant academic expertise in this field.
The Special Issue aims to provide a platform for disseminating advancements in diverse nanomaterials. These materials include metal oxides, metal–organic frameworks, carbon-based substances, pyrolyzed catalysts, and noble metal nanoparticles, among others. The focus is on their application in electrocatalysis for a wide range of reactions in both organic and aqueous media. Additionally, this Special Issue seeks to enhance the use of these materials to advance materials science, with a particular emphasis on promoting environmental sustainability. It aims to provide readers with efficient and eco-friendly alternatives that contribute to scientific progress and social development.
