Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past, the CEAM (Clean Energy and Advanced Materials) Symposium has been held alternately in Australia, Korea, and China. The symposium acts as a platform for researchers, engineers, academics, and industrial professionals from universities and industries, providing opportunities for the attendees to exchange ideas, share information, and establish a research and development network to promote technology transfer for clean energy and advanced materials. The CEAM2025 Symposium will be held from 28th to 30th November 2025 in Melbourne, Australia, and will be hosted by Monash University and Pusan National University.
This Special Issue, which is affiliated with CEAM2025 but is open to all contributors, focuses on functional materials for energy storage, conversion, and environmental sustainability. We invite high-quality original research and reviews addressing (but not limited to) the following:
- Advanced materials for batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells.
- Catalytic and photocatalytic materials for energy conversion.
- Sustainable materials for carbon capture and environmental remediation.
- Novel synthesis and characterization of energy-related functional materials.

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. 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.
