Nanomaterials for Electrochemistry in Fuel Cells and Batteries

Dear Colleagues,

The growing consumption of fossil fuels has led to severe global warming and energy crises, motivating the researchers to focus on clean and renewable energy storage and conversion technologies. In this regard, various rechargeable batteries and fuel cells, including lithium/sodium ion batteries, metal batteries, aqueous batteries, and fuel cells, have been developed over the past decades. Although rapid developments and continuous achievements have been made recently, their practical implementations are still limited, requiring more creative work to break these limitations. One of the biggest barriers is due to the lack of suitable electrode materials/catalysts and the related ambiguous working mechanisms. To this end, this Special Issue will mainly cover cutting-edge studies in various electrode materials for batteries and fuel cells, with special emphasis on novel electrode materials and their synthesis/characterizations/electrochemical performance. The theoretical studies and novel device design in this field are also of interest. The aim is to collect a selection of pioneering and distinguished research that represents the most recent progress in the field of batteries and fuel cells. Research papers, review articles, and communications relating to this topic 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 2900 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.
