Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured materials are transforming energy science by enabling precise control of surface area, porosity, and electronic structure at the nanoscale. These features accelerate charge transfer, enhance active site density, and improve stability, driving innovations in energy storage and conversion. Architectures such as nanowires, nanosheets, and porous frameworks are opening new opportunities for high-performance energy systems.
This Special Issue will highlight advances in the design, synthesis, and application of nanostructured materials for energy storage and conversion technologies. We invite original research, reviews, and perspectives that connect nanoscale engineering with breakthroughs in batteries, supercapacitors, electrolysers, fuel cells, and catalytic processes. Together, these contributions will illustrate how nanostructured materials are shaping the future of sustainable and efficient energy solutions.
We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
