Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in the electrodeposition process. Electrodeposition has emerged as a versatile and scalable method for synthesizing nanostructured materials, thin films, and functional coatings, with applications spanning energy storage, catalysis, electronics, sensors, electrolysers, CO2 utilization, next-generation electrochemical devices, and corrosion and wear resistance.
This issue aims to explore innovative strategies in electrodeposition, including the development of novel electrolytes, optimization of deposition parameters, and advanced characterization techniques. Special attention will be given to sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches, such as the use of green solvents, non-toxic precursors, and waste minimization strategies. Additionally, this issue will highlight the role of computational modelling, numerical modelling, and simulation and machine learning in predicting and optimizing electrodeposition processes, particularly for designing high-performance coatings with enhanced durability, catalytic activity, and selectivity in CO2 reduction and electrolysis applications.
By bringing together cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to advance the fundamental understanding of electrodeposition mechanisms and expand its applications in emerging technologies. We invite researchers to contribute original studies, reviews, and perspectives that address the challenges and opportunities in this dynamic field, paving the way for future breakthroughs in materials science and engineering.

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.
