Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices play a transformative role in modern society. They have been widely applied in portable electronic devices, electric transportation, and smart power grids, which advance energy efficiency and sustainability. Batteries and supercapacitors, including alkaline metal-ion batteries, Zn-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and supercapacitors, are state-of-the-art devices for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Determined by the structure-function relationship, it is of great significance to improve the electrochemical performances of devices by regulating the nanostructures and optimizing the properties of electrode materials.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to cover the most recent advances in batteries and supercapacitors, concerning their synthetic methodology, structure design, mechanism characterization, theoretical modeling, and device fabrication. In the present Special Issue, we are inviting contributions from leading groups in the field to show the latest progress and emerging sciences of batteries and supercapacitors. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: lithium-ion batteries; sodium-ion batteries; potassium-ion batteries; zinc-ion batteries; magnesium-ion batteries; lithium metal batteries; solid-state batteries; supercapacitors.

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.
