Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel materials designed for energy-conversion technologies based on electrochemical processes are gaining more and more attention from the scientific community. The development, processing, and application of these materials define one of the basic ideas behind bio-oriented utilities, such as cell functions, signal transition, or detection and removal of toxins, as well as technologies for renewable energy conversion, including batteries or fuel cells. Regardless of the final destination, high-quality materials based on transition-metal compounds, especially oxides and chalcogenides, together with ecologically friendly production processes and an in-depth understanding of structure-property relationships, are met with various electrochemical methods and techniques.
This Special Issue entitled "Transition-Metal-Based Compounds for Electrochemical Energy Conversion Processes" welcomes full research papers and reviews focused on:
- Obtaining new materials based on transition-metal-based compounds for next-generation electrochemical devices for energy conversion processes: properties and structure;
- Analysis of the processes occurring at the electrode during its operation: kinetics and thermodynamics;
- Influence of physicochemical properties on efficiency of energy conversion processes;
- Engineering of heterogeneous and composite systems to obtain selective properties of materials;
- The combined theoretical and experimental work aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the composition-structure-properties relationships.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
