Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect work related to energy conversion using photo- and electro-catalytic systems. Studies related to water splitting, CO2 conversion, and biomass conversion will be central to the issue. At the experimental level, special emphasis will be placed on studies that model catalytic systems using thorough in situ/operando characterization. Among the points to be addressed are material stability, ease of reproduction, and the kinetics of catalytic reactions as studied by electron, photoelectron, and vibrational spectroscopy tools. The Special Issue also welcomes studies carrying out system-level analysis on the techno–economic–environmental impact of developing such technologies.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
