Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional surface and interface engineering has revolutionized the field of electrochemical methods, offering exciting opportunities for advancements in energy storage, catalysis, corrosion resistance, and sensing applications, among many others. By tailoring the properties and functionalities of surfaces and interfaces at atomic and molecular levels, researchers can precisely control the electrochemical behavior and performance of materials. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advancements in functional materials, including how they are applied within electrochemical systems. It showcases the synergy between experimental and computational approaches, including density functional theory, molecular dynamics simulations, continuum modelling, and machine learning, to unravel complex electrochemical processes and guide the design of more efficient and sustainable electrochemical devices.
We welcome all researchers, scientists, and experts in this field to explore the development of functional materials and share your valuable insights in the hope of making great achievements. We look forward to receiving your contributions and fostering meaningful discussions in this rapidly evolving field.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
