Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Novel Energy Materials” in the journal Nanoenergy Advances (MDPI) invites authors to publish their state-of-the-art research results on topics including batteries, fuel cells, catalysis, carbon materials, photovoltaics, biofuels, polymer-based hydrogen storage, hydrogen production by various methods, and crystalline porous materials for hydrogen storage. Articles from the International Conference on Advanced Nano Materials (ANM2024, 24–26 July 2024, University of Aveiro, Portugal) and Alternative Energy Materials (AEM2024, 9–11 October 2024 London) will also be included in this Special Issue.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

In a view of application of porous materials in wearable electronics and self-powered systems, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) foams modified by Mn or/and Bi were produced in this study to be used as electrodes for supercapacitors. The hydrothermal method and the freeze-drying processes were used for the preparation of the materials further morphologically, elementally and structurally analyzed. Based on the electrochemical characterization, Bi-modified rGO foam was found to be more a promising material for capacitive electrodes in comparison to the other prepared materials. Full article

Nanofibers can be produced by various techniques, such as a broad range of electrospinning techniques to produce nanofiber mats from different polymers or polymer blends, often filled with metallic or semiconducting nanoparticles or by different nanotechnological bottom-up or top-down methods. They are important parts of a wide variety of energy applications, such as batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaics, or hydrogen storage materials. Usually, their physical or chemical parameters are measured by averaging over a fiber bundle or a part of a nanofiber mat. Here, we report the possibility of measuring the different physical and chemical properties of single nanofibers and nanowires. Such measurements of single nanofiber properties are more complicated than investigations of fiber bundles or whole nanofiber mats and, thus, are less often found in the literature. After a fast increase in such investigations between 2001 and 2009, the numbers of respective studies are now stagnating. This review thus aims to make the different possibilities more visible to a broader scientific audience by providing several examples based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and other broadly available techniques. The focus of this review is on technologies that reveal more information than the pure surface morphology of nanofibers or nanowires, such as mechanical properties or wettability, porosity, or electrical conductivity.
