Advanced Nanomaterials and Electrochemical Technologies for Sustainable Energy Storage and Conversion
This special issue belongs to the section “Energy Science and Technology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue presents a curated collection of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives focused on the development, characterization, and application of nanomaterials and electrochemical technologies to address the global challenge of achieving sustainable energy. Nanomaterials include 1D, 2D, and 3D materials with one or more dimension below 100 nm, as well as nanostructured materials. The articles presented in this Special Issue explore innovative approaches to enhancing the performance, efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact of energy-storage and -conversion systems by including nanoscale and nanostructured materials in electrochemical systems and processes. Topics include the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials and their applications in batteries, fuel cells, electrochemical capacitors, and (photo)electrocatalysis; energy harvesting; bioinspired and biomass-derived nanomaterials; and carbon-negative nanomaterials and processes.
Dr. Michael J. Wagner

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
