Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can be a driving force that will change the course of action for automobiles and household devices in the modern era due to its optimal power generation features with maximum electrical efficiency. A typical SOFC consists of a cathode, anode, and an electrolyte constituting a single cell. The electrocatalytic activity of electrode materials has significant influence on the single cell performance. This Special Issue is intended as a collection of contributions regarding electrode materials with high electrocatalytic activity of solid oxide fuel cells, in order to build and consolidate the knowledge in this subject area. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a full paper, detailed review, or significant preliminary communication related to efficient electrode materials for solid oxide fuel cells.

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. 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.
