Description
Dear Colleagues,Electrocatalysis strongly relies on the intrinsic properties of materials, ranging from small organic molecules to metal/metal oxides, metal–organic frameworks, covalent–organic frameworks, carbon materials, polymers, etc. Emerging materials for novel electrochemical applications and their catalytic properties are the driving force behind the improved sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of such methods. Several materials have attracted the attention of researchers in the application of electrochemical biosensors, chemical sensors, and gas sensors. For example, metal–organic frameworks have been studied extensively for their gas absorption and desorption capabilities, due to their tunable pore size and modified groups allowing good selectivity. Metal/metal oxides have been used ubiquitously in various electrochemical applications for their good conductivity and for their role in improving measurements and sensing sensitivity in the liquid environment. MXenes (Mn+1AXn, where M is any early transition metal, A is an element from group 13 or 14 of the periodic table, and X is C or N, n=1-4) have been identified and applied by a great number of researchers in various electrochemical applications for energy storage, photocatalysis, gas sensing, and water desalinization. This Special Issue focuses on novel or recently available materials with regard to their electrochemical applications in electrocatalysis. Authors are encouraged to contact the editor with their intention to submit, in order to ensure the paper lies within the scope of the Special Issue.
