Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology offers unique physicochemical properties—including quantum confinement, high surface-area-to-volume ratios, tunable band structures, and engineered interfaces—that enable transformative progress in electrochemical science and engineering. This Special Issue will focus on emerging advances in electrochemical systems based on nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, quantum dots, 2D materials, plasmonic/photonic nanostructures, and nanostructured catalysts. Application areas include (but are not limited to) electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices (batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and water electrolysis), electrocatalysis for sustainable chemistry, and electrochemical/ photoelectrochemical sensors. Topics addressing synthesis, characterization, mechanistic understanding, and device integration of nanomaterials with enhanced activity, selectivity, durability, and charge-transfer efficiency are particularly welcome.
Prof. Dr. Jae-Yup Kim
Guest Editor
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.
