Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices, including secondary batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and electrolyzers, have been intensively developed to address the rapidly growing environmental concerns and the increasing global demand for energy. Electrode materials applied in anodes, cathodes, or catalysts play a decisive role in determining the performance of these devices. Great efforts have been devoted to studying various nanostructured electrode materials owing to their unique properties for potential applications in electrochemical devices, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, MXenes, black phosphorus, nanostructured metal oxides, nitrides, chalcogenides, phosphides alloy, etc. Nevertheless, more nanomaterials and their composites are required to be investigated to improve the performances of the electrodes and devices, and meanwhile, more theoretical research is required to understand their energy storage and conversion mechanisms.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent advances and progress achieved in the discovery and development of various of nanomaterials and nanocomposites for electrochemical energy applications, including but not limited to all kinds of batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells (MOR, HOR, ORR), water-splitting (HER, OER), electrochemical ammonia synthesis (NRR), CO2RR, biomass conversion, and so on. Various types of papers are welcome, including regular articles, short communications, and review articles.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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 2900 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.
