Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced inorganic nanomaterials, such as metal/organic frameworks, nanowires, two-dimensional nanosheets, and high-entropy alloys, are revolutionizing the field of electrochemistry due to their unique electrical, catalytic, and structural properties. These materials offer high surface areas, tunable electronic structures, and excellent stability, providing unprecedented opportunities for enhancing the performances of various electrochemical devices. Current research is focused on understanding and leveraging the fundamental behavior of these materials at interfaces, crucial for advancing technologies in energy storage, conversion, sensing, and electrosynthesis.
This Special Issue will collate cutting-edge research in this field, showcasing the latest advancements in the design, synthesis, characterization, and performance of advanced inorganic nanomaterials for electrochemical applications. This Special Issue closely aligns with the scope of Inorganics, which covers all aspects of the chemistry of inorganic materials, particularly their synthesis, structure, properties, and applications. By focusing on “electrochemical applications,” this Special Issue will highlight the pivotal role of inorganic nanomaterials in addressing real-world energy and environmental challenges, providing a platform for exchanging ideas and driving future developments.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Nanostructured electrode materials for batteries and supercapacitors;
- Electrocatalysis (OER, HER, ORR, CO2RR);
- Electrochemical sensors and biosensors;
- Nanomaterial/electrolyte interface engineering;
- In situ/operando characterization techniques for electrochemical systems;
- Inorganic electrocatalysts for water splitting and fuel cells;
- Electrochemical properties of novel inorganic nanomaterials (e.g., MXenes, high-entropy oxides).
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
