Advances in Nanostructured Electrode Materials: Design and Applications (2nd Edition)

This special issue belongs to the section “Energy and Catalysis“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the tremendous success of the first edition of the Special Issue “Advances in Nanostructured Electrode Materials: Design and Applications”, in which a total of eight papers were published (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomaterials/special_issues/EER41U2O7R), a second edition is being launched.

The development of novel nanostructured materials is a cornerstone of emerging electrochemical technologies that provide clean and environmentally friendly solutions to meet end user requirements. Nanocomposites play a key role in the adoption of such technologies due to their unique and sometimes enhanced properties and because of the possibility of suitably tuning their structural and functional properties. Furthermore, nanostructured electrode materials are key in terms of significantly advancing the performance, efficiency, and safety technology. This Special Issue aims to depict the state-of-the-art design, synthesis, and characterization of various nanostructured electrode materials, as well as their electrochemical applications in the fields of electrocatalysis, energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental protection.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Design and synthesis of nanostructured materials.
  • Functional nanomaterials.
  • Development of the different classes of multicomponent materials.
  • Nanoalloys.
  • Advanced characterization for understanding the electrochemical behavior and structure–property relationships of electrode materials.
  • Applications of nanostructured materials, including energy storage and conversion devices, electrocatalysis, water-splitting processes for hydrogen production, photocatalysis, and the removal of pollutants.

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.
