Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrogen is expected to be a promising substitute fuel to traditional fossil fuels due to its renewability and high energy density. Electrochemical water splitting is deemed an economical and efficient way to generate hydrogen for the utilization of renewable energies. To accelerate the sluggish oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER), electrocatalysts are commonly used to reduce their kinetic energy barriers and, finally, improve energy conversion efficiency. Although great efforts have been devoted to developing efficient water splitting electrocatalysts, further investigations into the design and optimization of electrocatalysts are urgently needed. This Special Issue will focus on the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution reactions.

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. Processes 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 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.
