Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
In moving towards carbon neutrality, a sustainable energy conversion and storage system is required in addition to the exploration of renewable energy sources for large-scale utilization. Photo/electrocatalysis techniques powered by renewable energy, including water photo/electrolysis for green hydrogen production, fuel cells that have efficient hydrogen utility with zero carbon emissions, photo/electrocatalytic CO2 conversion into value-added products, and nitrogen or nitrate reduction to ammonia, have received ever-increasing interest due to their potential to play important roles in mitigating the energy crisis and environmental pollution. For energy conversion and storage systems, the catalysts where the conversion takes place play an important role in reducing the reaction potential and improving the reaction efficiency. Hence, developing low-cost and highly efficient catalysts is critical. Over the past decades, substantial progress has been made in the development of advanced photo/electrocatalysts for clean energy conversion. This symposium will focus on this topic and cover the recent progress in the above-mentioned photo/electrocatalysis fields in both the scientific and industrial communities.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
