Hot Electron Electrochemistry and Its Analytical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

All methods which make it possible to electrochemically introduce or inject hot electrons into electrolyte solutions are of interest to this Special Issue. Especially in aqueous solutions, interesting phenomena not observed in traditional electrochemistry at active working electrodes can be encountered. When hot electrons are injected into aqueous solutions possessing sufficiently high energy, they are transferred into the conduction band of water and successively thermalized and solvated. The reactivity of presolvated hot electrons in aqueous solution is poorly known, and only the reactivities of hydrated electrons (electrons solvated in water) are reasonably well studied. All analytical applications utilizing hot electrons or electrochemically generated presolvated and solvated electrons are relevant for this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Molecules 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 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.
