Key Functional Materials for Sustainable Energy-Related Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, the critical topic of sustainable energy and environment has attracted unprecedented attention, on which key functional materials have burdened. The target of a sustainable energy and environment future therefore gives a top priority to develop key functional materials for key underpinning technological solutions of sustainable energy-related technologies, including but not limited to water splitting, rechargeable batteries, N₂/CO₂ fixation, supercapacitors and etc.

This Special Issue focuses on current developments and frontier fundamental research of key functional materials in sustainable energy-related technologies. The special issue is open to contributors in all cross fields of materials science and sustainable energy. We invite submissions of novel and original research article, reviews, minireviews, focus article, feature article, perspectives that might contribute to scientific insight in the above themes.
