Carbon-Based Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Storage

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, clean and sustainable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, reduce the use of fossil energy sources. It is important to develop electrochemical energy storage devices (including batteries, electrochemical capacitors, and so on), as they play a critical role in harnessing these clean and sustainable energy sources. The performance of these electrochemical energy storage devices typically depends on the physical and chemical properties of the materials used in electrodes, separators, and electrolytes. Therefore, various materials have been developed to construct electrochemical energy storage devices with a good performance. Among these materials, carbon-based nanomaterials have been considered as promising components for various electrochemical energy storage devices. This is because carbon materials (which are highly conductive, have a large specific surface area, and so on) are suited for pairing with other functional nanomaterials to achieve a synergistic effect (1 + 1 is greater than 2).

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials is aimed at presenting the current state-of-the-art carbon-based nanomaterials in electrochemical energy storage devices. In this Special Issue, we invite contributions from leading groups in the field, with the aim of presenting a balanced view of this discipline.

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. 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.
