Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortages are becoming increasingly prominent, which seriously threaten the survival and development of mankind. Some advanced electrochemical technologies (such as fuel cells, metal–air batteries, water electrolysis, carbon dioxide capture, nitrogen fixation, etc.) based on catalytic reactions have been considered as promising solutions to solve these problems. Electrocatalytic materials (electrocatalysts) play a critical role in the above advanced electrochemistry technologies. In recent years, great progress has been made in the design, synthesis, application and catalytic mechanism of nano/microstructure electrocatalytic materials (electrocatalysts), which strongly promoted the development of the above key technologies in environmental and energy catalysis.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress and trends in novel electrocatalytic materials for various electrochemical technologies and reactions. We cordially invite investigators to contribute reviews, original articles, short communications, and perspectives that focus on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel electrocatalytic materials for fuel cells, metal–air batteries, water splitting, batteries, etc.;
- Novel electrocatalytic materials for reduction reactions, including ORR, HER, CO2RR, nitrogen reduction reaction, nitrate reduction reaction, etc.;
- Novel electrocatalytic materials for oxidation reactions, including OER, urea oxidation reaction, hydrazine hydrate oxidation reaction, the oxidation of small organic molecules and biomass, etc.;
- The design, synthesis and modification of novel electrocatalytic materials and their applications in the field of energy, environment and biomedical science, etc.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
