Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advances in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles have stimulated the development of energy conversion and storage technologies such as rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors and electrolyzers. The efficiency of these energy conversion and storage devices strongly depends on the performance of electrode materials. Developing highly efficient, inexpensive and eco-friendly electrochemical materials is essential for the exploitation and utilization of renewable energy.
This Special Issue aims to gather the recent progress in advanced nanomaterials and their applications in energy conversion and storage systems. We encourage manuscripts that present novel materials, new synthesis approaches, advanced characterization methods and enhanced electrochemical performance. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advanced materials for lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors and electrolyzers; novel material designs; and advances in energy conversion and storage technologies. In this Special Issue, research papers, communications and reviews are welcome.

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.
