Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid, worldwide growth in concern regarding renewable energy, the development of high efficiency, low-cost, and environmentally friendly energy conversion and storage systems has become a major challenge. In particular, there is an exceptionally high demand for advanced materials with a novel design and function that can overcome the current limitations of energy devices. Therefore, through this Special Issue, we are seeking impressive works that describe recent advances in micro/nanomaterials in relation to renewable energy storage and conversion processes. We welcome research papers, communications, and reviews from a broad range of topics related to micro/nanomaterials aiming at future energy resources, low-emission energy conversion, energy storage, energy efficiency, and many other related applications. High-quality manuscripts will be published in the Special Issue after rigorous peer-review. We will work hard towards the rapid and wide dissemination of your valuable research results, recent developments, and novel applications in the area of materials, and renewable energy storage and conversion.
Prof. Inho Nam

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.
