Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional materials have a wide range; they can be low-dimensional materials only if they are not three-dimensional, including two-dimensional films, graphene, mexene; one-dimensional nanowires, nanotubes; zero-dimensional quantum dots, etc. In a broader sense, it may also include the bulk materials with nanostructure, and filamentous materials obtained by electrospinning. A considerable amount of these materials have been widely studied and applied in photocatalysis and electrocatalytic water decomposition for hydrogen production, supercapacitors, various new batteries, memristors, high-efficiency light-emitting tubes, ferroelectric memory devices, etc.
Effectively improving energy efficiency and developing new clean energy are very important for the development of the world economy and the realization of "carbon neutrality", and one of the important methods to promote the progress in this field is the use of low dimensional materials. This Special Issue aims to collect papers on the low dimensional materials which are used in the new energy field (here defined as low dimensional energy related materials), such as photocatalysis and electrocatalytic water decomposition for hydrogen production, lithium and sodium ion batteries, supercapacitors, etc. The papers may introduce innovative preparation methods, discover new properties or new one-dimensional materials, develop the suitable way to characterize the materials or the properties of the energy system, and find the feasible path to introduce the low dimensional materials in the energy field. Papers on the related theoretical analysis are also welcome.
