Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alloys and metal oxides continue to be extremely important compounds in electrochemical and electromechanical systems. Some examples include nanoscale metal alloys in heterogeneous catalysis for fuel cells; metal oxides in solid oxide fuel cells and battery electrodes; metal alloy anodes for batteries; oxides or mixed oxides in ferroelectric systems and many more. Every day, new discoveries are being made in labs around the world to further employ these important compounds. This issue will focus on all aspects and applications of these materials with specific themes as follows:
(i) Heterogeneous catalysis for electrochemical applications
(ii) Batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors
(iii) Electrochemical sensors
(iv) Electromechanical systems and piezoelectrics
Contributions are being sought from all areas including academia, government, and industrial groups to ensure a broad distribution of applications. If you are unsure if your paper fits in this special issue, do not hesitate to inquire.

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. Metals 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 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.
