Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Concerns about global warming and energy shortages have prompted us to promote reusable nanomaterials for use in green chemistry and clean energy. Carbon nanomaterials are gradually playing a crucial role in energy and catalysis research due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and unique chemical features. In one way, the development of novel green energy storage systems has significantly contributed to the realization of a clean energy mix in recent years. Precise design and regulation of the microscopic morphology of carbon nanomaterials, as well as the in-depth study of the reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics, and kinetics of green energy storage systems, are conducive to the construction of high-performance, long-lasting, and cost-effective green energy storage systems. Furthermore, the development of highly active catalysts with carbon nanomaterials has become a prominent topic of focus in catalytic technology. Advanced catalysis technologies are equally serious and efficient methods for the production of new renewable and clean energy sources.
In this Special Issue of Nanomaterials, we expect contributions from a wide community of researchers and scientists working on carbon nanomaterials (graphene, carbon nanotubes, graphite, amorphous carbon, and other carbon-based nanomaterials) relating to clean energy production and storage applications, such as photocatalysts and electrocatalysts for water splitting, fuel cells, metal–air batteries, solar energy conversion, supercapacitors, hybrid supercapacitors, and emerging miniature energy storage devices. Research articles or reviews related to, but not limited to, the above fields are welcome.

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.
