Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrocatalysis is an important branch of catalysis research; it is cross-disciplinary in nature and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. In recent decades, various electrocatalytic reactions, such as water splitting, oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen reduction, alcohol oxidation, etc. have received a great deal of attention from the academic community, industrial researchers, as well as governments.
Noble metal-based catalysts have been considered the benchmarks for various electrocatalytic reactions due to the high activity. However, this is economically unfavorable due to their limited reserves and high cost for industrial use. To overcome this challenge, investigations of low-cost metal oxide catalysts with both satisfactory intrinsic activity and stability have attracted significant attention in recent years.
This Special Issue aims to cover the latest studies on metal oxide catalysts for electrocatalytic-related applications, providing a platform for the presentation of cutting-edge innovative research with application value and in-depth mechanistic studies.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a full paper, detailed review, or significant preliminary communication related to metal oxides electrocatalysis.

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. Catalysts 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 2700 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.
