Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the world’s demand for diversified clean energy, emerging nanogenerators provide new solutions by converting distributed power sources into electricity for various applications. Their output characteristics and advantages make them excellent tools for selfpowered electrochemical applications in a sustainable manner. However, practical applications are still limited by performance, durability, overall energy conversion efficiency, the degree of system integration, and so on. To overcome existing difficulties and upgrade application scenarios, more powerful and innovative nanogenerators need to be developed. This Special Issue, “Advanced Nanogenerators for Energy and Electrochemical Applications”, aims to explore advanced nanogenerators with high performance in energy-harvesting and electrochemical applications, especially in synthesis, degradation, sensing, and corrosion protection. We welcome original research work and reviews that contribute to the performance improvement of nanogenerators, enhancing or extending electrochemical applications to a wide variety of self-powered methods.

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.
