Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The significant upsurge in consumption of fossil fuels causes environmental pollution and energy crises for the sustainable development of our humanity. Developing alternative clean and renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro energies is considered a promising way to address the above issues. However, these energy sources suffer from intermittent availability because of regional or seasonal factors. Electrochemical processes, such as oxygen reduction reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, Li/Na-ion batteries, redox flow batteries, and supercapacitors, provide a promising way to convert intermittent renewable energies into the form of clean fuels and various chemicals. Therefore, it is highly urgent to develop durable and efficient functional materials for these processes.
In this Special Issue, “Design and Application of Functional Electrocatalysts”, we would like to highlight the most recent advances in material design and application in electrochemical energy conversion and storage processes. The main topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, oxygen reduction/evolution reaction, hydrogen oxidation/evolution reaction, CO2 reduction reaction, nitrogen/nitrate reduction, small molecules oxidation reaction, fuel cells, water electrolysis, metal–ion batteries, metal–air batteries, redox flow batteries, and supercapacitors.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
