Gel Electro-Catalysts

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Gels Electro-Catalysts” is dedicated to recent approaches, developments, and applications of theoretical and fundamental aspects of the preparation, characterization, properties, and significant applications of electrolytic gels, hydrogels, aerogels, microgels, and organogels.

The electrochemical and optical properties of developed gels dramatically change in response to electrochemical fields, and they have attracted considerable attention in the past few decades. Recently, electro-catalyst gels have been used for healthcare, environmental and industrial purposes, leveraging their excellent response to electrochemical fields. They also find applications in ionic separation, drug release and delivery, chemical response, electrochemical sensors, immunoassays, bioassays, and cationic or anionic approaches.

Contributions based on the nanomaterial sciences, nanotechnology, and polymer technology are most welcome. The publication of original research articles, rapid communications, or reviews in this Special Issue will make an important contribution to the development of future gel electro-catalysts.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Gels 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.
