Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the overuse of fossil fuels, an energy crisis and environmental problems have occurred. In contrast, electrocatalysts play an important role in the production of renewable energy. In recent years, the studies of transition metal chalcogenides (TMC) are gradually increasing in the electrochemical reactions such as the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction and CO2 reduction reaction. The electrocatalytic performance of TMCs is governed by their elemental composition, electronic structure and active sites. Compared to the noble metals Pt, the intrinsic electrocatalytic properties of inexpensive TMCs are still inadequate. To improve the electrocatalytic properties of TMCs, several strategies have been adopted, including nanocrystallization, phase transition engineering, heteroatom doping, atom defects and extrinsic force inducement. Researchers have used multiple synthetic routes to prepare high-performance TMC electrocatalysts such as top-down liquid exfoliation, hydrothermal method, electrochemical intercalation, and chemical vapor deposition. In this Special Issue, we would like to cover most recent advances in transition metal chalcogenide electrocatalysis.

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. Inorganics 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 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.
