Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing concerns about global warming and the depletion of petroleum resources, many researchers’ efforts are directed towards the research and development of renewable energy production and energy storage technologies. A critical element in the pursuit of this quest is to find efficient and cost-effective catalysts to use in electrochemical energy conversion and storage processes. The development of high-performance and cost-effective bi-functional electrochemical catalysts is highly desirable, considering the energy crisis and environmental problems.
This Special Issue will focus on using bi-functional electrocatalysts to generate power or hydrogen. This Special Issue will include reviews and original research articles describing recent developments and advances of bi-functional catalysts in their design, preparation, and characterization with unique properties, with the aim of improving catalytic performance for energy conversion and storage system applications as well as developing our understanding of photocatalytic reactions.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Prof. Dr. Young Wook Lee
Guest Editor
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.
