Applications of Nanomaterials in Electrochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, the field of electrochemistry has been revolutionized by the introduction of nanomaterials and approaches to creating nanostructures. Traditionally used metal- and carbon-based electrodes and others have been surface-modified with nanomaterials to provide entirely new or enhanced electrochemical processes. Additionally, electrode materials have been subject to processes to convert them into nanostructured electrodes with enhanced surface area and altered reactivity. This revolution in nanomaterials plays a key role in the development of new and novel technologies for energy-related applications. Entirely new approaches to the design of electrochemical sensors and biosensors have been made possible by the introduction of nanomaterials into electrochemistry. This synergy has continued to grow and impact applications in other areas such as electrocatalysis, electrosynthesis, and miniaturized medical devices.

This Special Issue, “Applications of Nanomaterials in Electrochemistry”, seeks high-quality papers focusing on recent advances in the application of nanomaterials in electrochemistry.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Modification of electrode surfaces with nanomaterials for specific applications;
• Novel processes for the creation of intrinsically nanostructured electrodes;
• Applications of nanomaterials to the development of novel batteries, fuel cells, and energy storage devices;
• Electrochemical sensors and biosensors based on nanomaterials or nanostructures;
• Applications of nanomaterials in 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. 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.
