Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transition metal compounds are relevant and crucial for strategic technologies from the point of view of modern-day challenges, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions or renewable environment-friendly energy storage. Recent studies demonstrate that transition metal compounds exhibit promising visible-light photocatalytic reactivity in the decomposition of pollutants and water splitting. On the other hand, these materials have high specific capacity and good electrochemical and safety characteristics, which makes them promising for energy storage applications. Moreover, nanostructured transition metal compounds with high surface-to-volume ratios are of particular scientific interest in this field. Therefore, this Special Issue provides a distinguished platform for publishing original research papers focused on the advanced application of transition metal compounds, especially nanostructured forms. Papers on the synthesis, structure characterization, and determination of properties will be appreciated. Reviews and short communications are also welcome.
The topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to the advanced application of transition metal compounds, (photo)catalysis, photocatalytic water splitting, photovoltaics, photoelectrochemistry, electrochemical energy storage, electrode materials, and supercapacitors.

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.
