Electrochemical Analysis of Functional Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical processes exist widely in various fields, such as nature, industry and manufacturing, energy applications, food quantification, environment monitoring and medical research. This Special Issue aims to share with electrochemists and experts the progress being made, with a focus on electrochemical materials and devices. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Functional materials for energy storage and conversion
• Research on the conversion efficiency, stability, energy density, power density, cost and safety of electrochemical related applications in energy sources, such as electrode materials, membrane materials, Li ion, Na ion, fuel cells, microbial fuel cell, rechargeable batteries, flow batteries, photovoltaic cells, supercapacitors, water electrolysers, electrochemical CO₂ conversion systems.

• Nanomaterials for electrochemical devices
• Graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and metallic nanomaterials are widely used in finer areas. We encourage research on the design, structures, properties, manufacturing and applications of nano-electrochemical materials and devices.

• Materials corrosion and testing
• Research on corrosion rate, corrosion mechanism, corrosion-resistant coatings, corrosion inhibitors and material corrosion in specific environments.

• Materials for electrochemical sensing
• Research on Electrochemical sensors and biosensors in different fields, such as environmental monitoring; food analysis; biomedical monitoring and industrial processes control; multiscale, microscale and nanoscale sensors; different usage modes, such as wearable applications; noninvasive or invasive ways.

We welcome articles, communications and reviews that help us gain a deeper understanding of electrochemical processes and share results related to the electrochemical analysis of functional materials.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
