Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Owing to the limited supply of non-renewable resources and the ongoing environmental crisis, there is an increasing need for a breakthrough in carbon-neutral technologies. The expansion of energy storage systems, in conjunction with energy conversion and storage concepts, are called on to satisfy the future development of a low-carbon economy. Accordingly, nanoporous alloys as a category of functional materials have shown promise for application in energy storage and conversion devices.
This Special Issue entitled “Nanoporous Alloy Design and Its Application in Electrochemistry” aims to cover the recent progress and development in the design, synthesis and characterization of nanoporous alloys-based materials and new insights into these materials (including nanoporous alloys and their modified products) in energy storage and conversion applications, such as lithium/sodium ion batteries, supercapacitors, metal-air batteries, electrocatalysis for water splitting/fuel cells and so on. The detailed research areas include (but are not limited to) the following:
The development, synthesis and fabrication of nanoporous-alloy-based materials for energy storage and conversion applications;
Characterization techniques for nanoporous-alloy-based materials;
New concepts and insights into energy storage or conversion mechanisms for nanoporous-alloy-based materials.
We invite you to submit original research works as well as review articles with a major focus on nanoporous-alloy-based materials for electrochemical applications. We believe that your contributions to this Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers expanding the applications of nanoporous-alloy-based materials in other fields.

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.
