Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building upon the success of the first edition, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Inorganics, entitled ‘Advanced Electrocatalysis Materials Design: Innovations and Applications, 2nd Edition’. Inorganic electrocatalysis could be utilized in the electrochemical transformation of abundant small molecules, such as water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, into value-added chemicals, positioning it as a cornerstone in the development of sustainable energy conversion technologies. However, the traditional trial-and-error approach to electrocatalyst development is often inefficient, as it lacks direct insight into the atomic-scale structures and fundamental reaction mechanisms that govern catalytic performance.
To accelerate the discovery of efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable electrocatalysts, data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) and theoretical simulations have become indispensable tools. These approaches provide atomic-level insights into electrochemical processes, thereby enabling more rapid, rational, and predictive catalyst design.
This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of original research articles and review papers that highlight recent advances in our understanding, synthesis, and application of inorganic electrocatalysts. We welcome submissions that address all types of electrocatalytic processes, particularly those that emphasize the integration of theoretical and/or experimental techniques for the design of inorganic electrocatalysts and the investigation of reaction mechanisms.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Junxian Liu
Guest Editor
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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
