Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an urgent need to address the energy and environmental issues caused by the overuse of fossil fuels. Hydrogen has been identified as a critical and indispensable element of a decarbonized, sustainable energy resource to provide cost-effective and non-polluting energy. Electrochemical water splitting is regarded as one of the most economical and ecofriendly approaches for delivering clean and sustainable hydrogen production. Recently, emerging two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have demonstrated their great potential as remarkable noble metal-free electrochemical catalysts for water splitting because of their unique physicochemical properties. This Special Issue welcomes original research papers, and authoritative reviews on recent advances in the use of 2D materials as hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution for water splitting.

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.
