Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The topic “Electrocatalytic Advances for Sustainable Energy” aims to explore the latest developments in electrocatalysis and its applications in renewable energy systems, focusing on sustainable and efficient energy conversion technologies. This research area encompasses a broad range of topics, including CO2 reduction, hydrogen evolution, nitrogen reduction, batteries, and fuel cells, aligning with key global sustainability goals. Recent advances in electrocatalyst design, such as single-atom catalysts, nanostructured materials, and novel electrode configurations, have opened new pathways for improving reaction efficiency and selectivity in energy conversion processes. The content of this topic includes but is not limited to the following aspects:

  • Development and Application of Novel Electrocatalytic Materials;
  • Advances in Water Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production;
  • CO2 Conversion and Carbon Neutrality Technologies;
  • The Design and Application of Multifunctional Catalytic Systems;
  • Research Progress in Electrocatalytic Interfaces and Reaction Mechanisms;
  • Innovations in Electrocatalysts for Battery Applications.

The topic invites contributions from interdisciplinary research fields, emphasizing the integration of materials science, chemical engineering, and applied electrochemistry to push the boundaries of sustainable energy solutions. We welcome research on flow cells, membrane electrode assembly (MEA) systems, and high-throughput electrocatalytic platforms, as well as novel characterization techniques for real-time analysis of catalytic processes.
