Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world moves towards sustainable energy solutions, the development of efficient nanomaterials for energy conversion and catalysis has become increasingly vital. Among the various synthesis methods available, laser-based techniques have emerged as a powerful and versatile tools to produce innovative nanomaterials with tailored properties, alongside unique advantages including processing site control, the construction of hierarchical structures, rapid fabrication, and environmental friendliness.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials on the topic of “Laser Synthesis of Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion” will cover the recent advancements, insights into synthesis design, and applications of laser-based methods in synthesizing nanomaterials for energy conversion processes.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Laser synthesis of metal, metal oxide, and carbon-based nanomaterials;
- Design and optimization of laser synthesis parameters for enhanced nanomaterial properties;
- In-depth understanding of mechanisms and dynamics of laser synthesis processes;
- Novel applications of laser-synthesized nanomaterials in batteries, solar cells, thermoelectric devices, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and other energy-conversion-related processes;
- Integration of laser-synthesized nanomaterials in energy conversion devices.

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.
