Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of Transition Metal Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

The synthesis and application of nanomaterials are of great interest to researchers from different disciplines of science. This is because there is a continuous need to implement nanomaterials that can act as electrocatalysts, electrochemical sensors, and electrodes for batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.

This Special Issue will be focused on the synthesis of transition metal/metal oxide nanomaterials with a particular bent towards those containing carbon matrixes.

The methods used in the preparation of nanomaterials need to be clearly presented with descriptions of the various stages, materials, and equipment involved. Additionally, the characterization of the nanomaterials should reveal their unique structures that affect the properties that make them useful in electrocatalysts, electrochemical sensors, supercapacitors, batteries, and fuel cells. The characterization techniques can be Xrd, SEM, TEM, Raman, XPS, or surface area analysis. Finally, the study of the application of nanomaterials should be described in detail and compared with past work in the same field to assess the values of novel manufactured materials. The applications should mainly be in electrocatalysis and electrochemical sensors but can also be in electrodes for batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.

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. 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.
