Catalysis in an Electrochemical Cell: Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Electrolyzers and Electrochemical Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue deals with a rapid dissemination of the most recent results concerning catalysis for solid oxide electrochemical cells operating at intermediate temperatures. These electrochemical cells have the potentiality to solve several issues in various sectors, such as monitoring of gases (i.e., industries, automobiles, etc.), the production of energy (a combination of thermal and electrical energy), storage and production of fuels from wastes.

The topics of this Special Issue will address the most recent achievements in electrode materials for future applications of these technologies, able to mitigate the environmental impact and the existing hurdles of conventional technologies.

Therefore, the topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following aspects:

• Detailed thermodynamics;
• Detailed physical–chemical, electrochemical, and/or mechanical properties;
• Fundamental analysis and modelling;
• Analysis of requirements and cost estimate for large-scale production and operation;
• Analysis of the environment impact.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
