Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Advanced Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy and Environmental Applications", focuses on the innovation and application of state-of-the-art nanomaterials aimed at tackling critical global issues in clean energy and environmental sustainability. As the need for better energy systems and water cleaning methods grows, electrochemically active nanomaterials have become crucial for new technologies. This issue seeks to compile original research and review articles that investigate the synthesis, characterisation, and efficacy of nanostructured materials—including metal oxides, carbon-based materials, quantum dots, and hybrid composites—for applications such as fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, electrochemical pollutant degradation, and sensing technologies. The focus is on comprehending the relationships among structure, properties, and performance, as well as charge transfer mechanisms and the influence of surface/interface engineering, doping, and defect modulation on enhancing electrochemical behaviour. Both experimental and theoretical investigations are encouraged, particularly those that suggest scalable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly methodologies. This Special Issue aims to stimulate innovation at the convergence of materials science, electrochemistry, and environmental engineering through interdisciplinary dialogue, thereby advancing sustainable solutions for energy and environmental issues.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
