Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemistry is one of the most promising routes to address the current issues of clean energy generation and supply. Independent from the final application (e.g., battery, electrolysis of water, and so on), the control of composition, crystal structure, size, support interaction and morphology of nanostructured materials are essential factors for producing highly performing and stable electrochemical devices. A great number of physical and chemical approaches have been developed for the production of nanostructures for electrochemical applications, and further efforts are needed to optimize the process and translate the research studies into the industrial sector, for which low cost, reproducibility and sustainability are the key words, as well as material design process and final performances.
This Special Issue focuses on the state-of-the-art routes for nanostructures design and detailed characterization techniques for the comprehensive understanding of nanostructured materials' behavior and their future perspectives in the electrochemical research field. Here, we invite the scientific community to contribute in the form of original research or review articles that explore the optimized design, study, understanding and optimization of materials with application 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. 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.
