Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Nanoenergy Advances (MDPI) is pleased to announce a Special Issue on “Innovative Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems.” This issue aims to showcase the latest breakthroughs and cutting-edge research in the design, synthesis, and application of advanced materials that drive progress toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
We invite authors to contribute original research papers and comprehensive reviews covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Nanomaterials;
- Batteries and fuel cells;
- Catalysis and carbon-based materials;
- Photovoltaics and biofuels;
- Polymer-based hydrogen storage;
- Hydrogen production via various methods;
- Crystalline and porous materials for hydrogen storage.
This Special Issue will also feature selected high-quality articles presented at the following international conferences:
- International Conference on Advanced Nano Materials (ANM2026)—22–24 July 2026, University of Aveiro, Portugal
- Advanced Energy Materials Conference (AEM2026)—28–30 October 2026, London, UK
We warmly invite researchers and experts from academia and industry to submit their latest findings and contribute to this exciting Special Issue that advances the frontiers of renewable and sustainable energy materials.

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. Nanoenergy Advances is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
