Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to cover topics encompassing synthesis, high-throughput characterization and application of advanced materials to clean energy and environmental applications. This includes the various applications related to batteries, sensors, solar energy, fuel cells, supercapacitors, hydrogen generation and storage, optoelectronic devices for efficient energy usage, etc. These advanced materials include novel inorganic, hybrid, catalytic, and/or organic materials.
By optimising the synthesis conditions, it is possible to create novel nanomaterials with precise dimensions and shapes, such as nano-tubes, nanofibers or nanowires, nanocomposites, nanorods, nanoparticles, nanospheres, and nano-shells, which have special features. Understanding the physicochemical, structural, microstructural, surface, and interface properties of nanostructures is pre-vital for attaining the desired efficiency, cycle life, shelf life, and sustainability in several technological advancements.
This Special Issue is focussed on basic nanoscience research and application for cutting-edge technology, combining the most recent interdisciplinary research. Topics of interest for the Issue include the fundamental understanding of materials used in environmental pollution abatement, new catalytic routes and processes for the production of clean energy (e.g., in hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing), new catalysts and electrocatalysts for fuel cells, as well as fundamental research on phenomena, processes, and characteristics of materials at the nanoscale.

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.
