Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemistry is the root of sustainable energy storage/conversion, and environmental remediation. The development of advanced materials from nanostructured electrodes to functional electrolytes and catalysts is accelerating progress toward efficient, durable, and scalable electrochemical technologies.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for cutting-edge research and review articles addressing the design, synthesis, characterization, and modeling of emerging materials in electrochemical systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the development of high-performance electrodes, solid-state electrolytes, for multifunctional electrochemical applications.
We invite contributions that explore sustainable pathways for material development, including carbon-based, biomass derived, non-noble metals or non-hazardous materials, as well as green synthesis approaches that support circular economy and Net-Zero carbon objectives. Submissions that integrate morphological, surface chemical and structural characterization, AI-assisted modeling, and structure–property–performance relationships to advance electrochemical efficiency and durability are particularly encouraged.
Potential topics include
- Advanced electrode and electrolyte materials for batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, supercappatery, and electrocatalysis;
- Corrosion protection, and durability enhancement in electrochemical devices;
- Sustainable and recyclable materials for electrochemical systems;
- Biomimetic and bio-derived materials for electrochemical applications;
- Electrochemical synthesis and catalysis for green manufacturing and CO₂ capture/conversion;
- Industry-based material challenges and scalable electrochemical processes;
- Electrochemical synthesis and catalysis for green manufacturing;
- Modeling and process optimization in electrochemical engineering;
- Carbon-based and environmentally benign materials for electrochemical technologies;
- In situ/operando characterization of electrochemical materials and interfaces.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Processes 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 2400 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.
