Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global demand for high-performance sustainable energy storage solutions continues to drive significant advancements in electrochemical energy systems. This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge research in supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, and emerging energy materials, with a focus on enhancing energy density, cycling stability, and overall device efficiency. Key areas include the development of advanced electrode architectures, novel hybrid systems, and solid-state configurations. Special attention is also given to innovative electrolyte design—such as ionic liquids, gel-based, and solid electrolytes—which plays a critical role in improving device safety, conductivity, and operational window. Contributions involving nanostructured materials like MXenes, doped carbon frameworks, and transition metal compounds are particularly welcomed, aiming to support the development of next-generation energy storage technologies for clean and sustainable energy applications.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
