Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current structure of our society implies an ever-increasing demand for energy production, leading to a dramatic increase in our human impact on the environment. It is clear, however, that this increase in energy demand cannot be satisfied by increasing the consumption of fossil fuels for a long time. To maintain the current level of social development and, simultaneously, the sustainability of the planet, there is a need to meet the ever-growing global energy demand by developing clean and renewable energy conversion systems, which greatly limit the emission of pollutants. In conjunction with the subject related to energy production, the intermittency of renewable energy sources is another issue that must be considered, leading to the emergent need to accumulate and store some of the energy produced. Electrochemical devices appear to be one of the most promising solutions for the future of energy conversion and storage, and therefore, justify special attention.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to publish papers on the state of the art of electrochemical methods to characterize and develop new materials for energy applications. The evolution of experimental measurement techniques and their complexity requires updated studies, reflecting each method's potentialities and limitations. Relevance will be given to the possibility of cross-referencing data obtained by different techniques to validate the results and respective interpretations. The submission of works that include theoretical models and their use to adjust experimental results is also encouraged.
We invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue with original research articles and review articles covering their current research progress to foster current knowledge on the relevant electrochemical characterization methods, and thus improve the development of new energy conversion and storage electrochemical devices.

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.
