Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials, endowed with their distinctive physical and chemical properties, play a pivotal role in enhancing the performance of electrochemical energy storage devices. Through the continuous optimization and improvement of the structure and properties of nanomaterials, the energy density, power density, and cycle stability of electrochemical energy storage devices can be significantly improved. Therefore, research on and the optimization of new types of nanomaterials in the field of electrochemical energy storage undoubtedly holds extremely profound and significant implications.

We are pleased to invite you contribute papers to our Special Issue entitled “Application of Nanostructures in Electrochemical Energy Storage”, as we aim to attract scholars whose expertise aligns with the themes we are exploring. If you are a distinguished researcher in this field, we would be highly honored to have you contribute your expertise.

This Special Issue aims to present state-of-the-art advancements in the utilization of nanomaterials or nanostructures to enhance the performance of electrochemical energy storage systems, including lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, metal-air batteries, supercapacitors, and others. This includes the development of nanomaterials for components of electrochemical energy storage devices, nanostructures that improve the electrochemical performance of energy storage devices, and the nanotechnology used in various types of electrochemical energy storage devices.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome and research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The synthesis, characterization, and performance of nanomaterials in electrochemical energy storage;
  • Nanostructured electrodes for electrochemical energy storage;
  • Nanostructured solid/gel electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage;
  • Functionalized separators with a facile.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
