Recent Advances in Nanofunctional Materials for Electrochemical Transformations

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical transformations have been broadly applied in various fields during the past decades. Much effort has been made to develop advanced electrocatalysts for different chemical transformations. Nanostructures with unique surfaces where the reaction process happens directly govern the overall sensing performance from the perspective of the atomic level. Recently, various newly developed nano functional materials provide great opportunities to significantly enhance the electrocatalytic performances of nanomaterials toward various chemical transformations due to their excellent conductivity, efficient charge transfer, large specific surface area, flexible structure and composition, and so on.

This Special Issue aims at presenting comprehensive research on the use of nanostructures in electrocatalysis, outlining progress on the application of nanostructures to improve the performance of electrocatalysts. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress on electrochemical transformations through heterogeneous catalysis. Potential topics include, but are not limited to heterogeneous electrocatalysis, electrochemical sensors, biosensors, and so on.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
