Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the ever-growing electronic products and electric vehicles, higher requirements have been put forward for energy storage devices such as rechargeable batteries and electrochemical capacitors, etc. Developing high-performance energy storage materials is currently a research hotspot, which helps promote technological progress and sustainable social development. Accordingly, we are launching this new Special Issue of Nanomaterials titled “Enhancing Energy Storage in Batteries and Devices Through Nanoscale Strategies”, which will focus on the fundamental and application areas of advanced materials for batteries and other energy storage devices.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Batteries (such as lithium-/sodium-/potassium-ion batteries, aqueous zinc-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, solid-state batteries, etc.);
- Capacitors;
- Synthesis, analysis, or mechanism research of advanced energy storage materials;
- Theoretical calculation of advanced energy storage materials;
- Other types of energy storage applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Qinglin Deng

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.
