Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid expansion of industrial activities and of the economy have caused serious issues such as global warming. Nowadays, environmental protection is becoming progressively important. Searching for new energy sources and energy conversion technologies has become one of the hottest areas of research. Fuel cells and metal–air batteries, as two key types of energy conversion and storage devices, have been widely studied in recent years. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on fuel cells and metal–air batteries. Our areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the development of new electrocatalysts for fuel cells and metal–air batteries. Both theoretical calculations and experimental results are of interest. Furthermore, we highly encourage submissions of review articles that summarized the recent progress in the development of fuel cells and batteries.

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 2200 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.
