Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent times, there has been an urge to develop and use new materials and technologies for obtaining and storing energy from renewable sources. This exploration is driven by increasing energy demands and the depletion of fossil sources.
The current Special Issue envisages the improvement of energy harvesting, conversion, and storage parameters while considering the circularity of nano-polymer composites.
This Special Issue, “Advanced polymer nanocomposites for energy applications for a sustainable environment”, showcases the recent progress in nanotechnology aimed at the sustainable conversion and storage of energy derived from renewable and waste sources.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
