Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue of Nanomaterials, entitled “Engineering Nanocomposites for Next-Generation Supercapacitors and Energy Storage Applications”. This Special Issue aims to focus on the design, synthesis, and understanding of nanocomposite materials that advance the performance, stability, and practicality of supercapacitors and related energy storage devices.
We invite contributions focused on, but not limited to, the following:
- Nanocomposite electrodes based on metal oxides/sulfides/phosphides, MXenes, MOFs, polymers, and carbon materials;
- Interface, defect, and heterostructure engineering for improved charge storage and transport;
- Advanced electrochemical analysis, modeling, and in situ/operando characterization;
- Symmetric/asymmetric/hybrid supercapacitor devices and scalable fabrication strategies;
- Multifunctional nanocomposites that couple energy storage with sensing or other functions.
Original research articles, communications, and reviews are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue. Manuscripts should be submitted through the Nanomaterials online system by selecting the Special Issue “Engineering Nanocomposites for Next-Generation Supercapacitors and Energy Storage Applications”. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process.
We warmly invite you to contribute your latest work and help shape this focused collection on advanced nanocomposites for future energy storage technologies.
Prof. Dr. Sheng Yun Wu
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.
