Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology for Electrocatalytic Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The subject of nanomaterials and nanotechnology is of significant interest because of their profound electrocatalytic applications in energy conversion (hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, hydrogen oxidation) and storage (supercapacitors and batteries). Their application has significantly improved the electrocatalytic activity of numerous electrocatalytic reactions. During the past few years, there has been an increasing amount of research dedicated to designing nanomaterials with intriguing and specific properties to develop highly efficient electrocatalysts with superior stability for various electrocatalytic applications. The performance, such as activity, selectivity, and longevity of supported nanoparticles-based electrocatalysts, is severely influenced by a number of different parameters. These parameters include the size and shape of nanoparticles, defect sites, step sites, metal–support interface, etc. Moreover, the use of nanomaterials is significantly enhancing our knowledge to understanding correlations between size/shape and electrochemical reactivity at the nanoscale. This Special Issue of Nanomaterials is dedicated to collecting reviews and recent papers in electrocatalysis for energy and storage 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 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-anonymized 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.
