Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Significant progress has been achieved in optimizing nanomaterials for enhanced electrochemical sensing and energy storage applications. Tailoring nanomaterial properties through strategic modifications, such as elemental doping, surface functionalization, and heterostructure engineering, has proven crucial. For electrochemical sensing, these modifications dramatically boost sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Currently, in energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), nanomaterial optimization focuses on maximizing capacity, rate capability, and cycling longevity. However, numerous challenges still need to be urgently addressed for designing advanced nanomaterials for fabricating high-performance sensing and energy storage devices. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct extensive experimental studies integrated with advanced characterization techniques, focusing on material properties, performance validation, mechanism investigation, and device integration, thereby establishing a scientific foundation for fabricating next-generation high-performance electronic devices.
We invite you to submit original research papers, communications, or review articles to this Special Issue titled “Advanced Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Sensors and Energy Storage Device Applications”.
This Special Issue will discuss the latest processing methods, microstructure characterizations, mechanisms, and properties of novel nanomaterials, as well as their applications in electrochemical sensors and energy storage devices. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel fabrication methods for nanomaterials and composites;
- Modification, functionalization and doping of nanomaterials;
- Assembly and processing of nanomaterials;
- Electrochemical sensors;
- Energy storage device.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
