Electrochemical Energy Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, the chemistry and electrochemistry of molten salts and solid oxide materials are of paramount importance due to their possible application for various purposes, including hydrogen and atomic energy. Revealing deep relationships between composition, structure and functional properties of high-temperature materials by means of theoretical and experimental approaches allows the determination of key factors for the improvement of the capability, performance and efficiency of electrochemical devices with prolonged operation life under aggressive conditions. In this regard, the current Special Issue aims to collect research and review articles dealing with new materials that can be employed for high-temperature electrochemical processes.

The Special Issue of Materials titled «Electrochemical Energy Materials» is devoted to the study of the following aspects:

• modeling of properties and structures of molten media, solid oxide materials and corresponding electrochemical devices;
• kinetics and thermodynamics of electrode processes as well as interface phenomena;
• materials for pyrochemical technologies and spent nuclear fuel recycling;
• production of metals and alloys by electrolysis of fluoride, chloride and oxide melts;
• promising functional materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs).

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
