Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of advanced energy catalytic materials has recently seen remarkable progress. Researchers have developed a range of sophisticated materials, such as single-atom catalysts, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and 2D materials, that exhibit exceptional catalytic properties. Advances in nanotechnology, materials science, and computational modeling have facilitated the design of catalysts with high activity, selectivity, and stability. For example, breakthroughs in the synthesis of nanostructured catalysts have led to enhanced performance in energy conversion processes like fuel cells and hydrogen production. Furthermore, the integration of computational tools has allowed for the precise tuning of catalyst properties, accelerating the discovery of new materials. In order to cope with the design and synthesis of advanced energy catalytic materials becoming a topic of interest in industry and academia, an increasing number of researchers are entering the field, and the number of related papers is growing quickly. Thus, we are committed to providing a platform for the dissemination of high-quality papers in the field of advanced energy catalytic 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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
