Study on Nanomaterials for Supercapacitors, Fuel Cells and Batteries

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced electrochemical energy storage devices, including supercapacitors and batteries, have attracted increasing research interests due to their wide applications in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage. The electrode materials used in these devices greatly affect their electrochemical performance. Developing high-performance materials is one of the leading topics of today’s electrochemical energy storage research. Nanomaterials show some unique advantages for various supercapacitors and batteries. On the one hand, their reduced sizes and dimensions usually increase the rate performance of electrochemical energy storage devices due to the short distances for ion and electron transport within the particles. On the other hand, nanomaterials typically show large surface area, which permits a high contact area with the electrolyte, thus ensuring a fast reaction kinetics at the electrode/electrolyte interface.

This Special Issue is aimed at presenting the current state-of-the-art theoretical developments and practical applications of nanomaterials to improve the performance of electrochemical energy storage devices. It aims to attract both academic and industrial researchers in order to foster the current knowledge of nanomaterials and to present new ideas for future applications and new technologies.

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.
