Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrocatalytic and electrosynthetic materials play a crucial role in accelerating and controlling electrochemical reactions, which are essential for various applications in energy conversion, environmental remediation, and chemical synthesis. These materials possess unique properties that enable them to efficiently catalyze and facilitate electron transfer during electrochemical processes. Electrocatalytic materials are designed to enhance the reaction rates of specific electrochemical reactions, such as oxygen reduction, hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, etc., which can control reaction pathways, produce high-value chemicals, and minimize the energy and environmental footprint of traditional chemical synthesis methods. Electrocatalytic materials often involve catalysts, such as transition metal oxides, alloys, or nanoparticles, which provide active sites for the reaction to occur. By optimizing the composition, structure, and morphology of these materials, researchers aim to achieve improved performance, stability, and selectivity in electrochemical reactions. In summary, electrocatalytic and electrosynthetic materials are fundamental components of various electrochemical systems. Their design and optimization hold significant potential for advancing clean energy technologies, sustainable chemistry, and environmental remediation. Continued research and development in these areas are critical for realizing a more sustainable and low-carbon future.
This Special Issue is proposed in order to provide and share recent research and developments on novel electrocatalytic and electrosynthetic materials for the high-value conversion of small molecules, as well as on their synthesis, characterization, properties, and simulations. The contributions in this Special Issue will be of great interest to researchers working in the field of electrocatalytic and electrosynthetic materials. Therefore, we welcome research works from scientists, engineers, and industries in these fields.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
