Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry is a core concept in electrochemistry, playing a pivotal role in the reaction mechanisms, material properties, and overall performance of electrochemical systems. Leveraging symmetry has driven notable advancements in energy conversion, storage, and sensing technologies. By understanding symmetry, one can explore electrode interfaces, catalytic efficiencies, and the transport behavior of ions and electrons. Symmetric molecular designs often result in enhanced stability and efficiency, particularly in applications such as fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. In contrast, symmetry-breaking phenomena provide pathways for selective catalysis and the creation of advanced energy materials.
This Special Issue highlights the diverse applications of symmetry in electrochemistry, and welcomes theoretical and experimental studies that incorporate symmetry principles to address current challenges in this field. Topics of interest include the influence of symmetry on reaction pathways, the development of symmetric and asymmetric catalysts, and innovative electrode designs for energy and environmental applications. The integration of symmetry into electrochemical research holds significant promise for advancing sustainable technologies for energy generation, storage, and utilization.
We welcome submissions of original research, perspectives, and review articles that explore these areas and provide a deeper understanding of symmetry-based innovations in electrochemistry.

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. Symmetry 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.
