Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may represent a promising clean fuel for one-compartment fuel cells. In addition, it is widely used as a bleaching agent for paper and textiles, a cleaning agent in semiconductor manufacturing, and an oxidizing agent in various chemical transformations. Presently, most H2O2 is industrially produced by anthraquinone autoxidation via multiple steps that consume large amounts of energy, hydrogen, and organic solvent. From the perspectives of safety, low carbonization, and cost reduction, the development of a green and sustainable on-site process for producing the required amount of H2O2 at the location where it is needed is highly required. Among the candidates, research on the photocatalytic (PC), electrochemical (EC), and photoelectrochemical (PEC) production of H2O2 via a two electron-oxygen reduction reaction (2e−-ORR) and via a two electron-water oxidation reaction (2e−-WOR) has been progressing rapidly. We hope that this Special Issue will provide useful information for researchers and encourage their involvement in this field.

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.
