Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the second edition of our Special Issue titled “Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation, 2nd Edition”.
Water electrolysis to produce oxygen and hydrogen gas is a promising option to convert solar energy to fuel. Electrolyzers, particularly the ones using a liquid alkaline solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte, have been commercially available for many years, but their electrical efficiency is rather low, 70–80%. Water oxidation on anode is a 4-electron process that requires the use of a cost-effective catalyst. Despite numerous efforts, such catalysts for a new generation of electrolyzers have not yet been developed. This Special Issue will be mostly focused on understanding the mechanism of water oxidation in the presence of homogeneous or immobilized molecular catalysts. The catalysts with thoroughly characterized reactive centers will be also considered.

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.
