Low-Dimensional Nanocomposites for Energy Harvesting, Storage, and Conversion

Dear Colleagues,

Energy harvesting, conversion, and storage technologies are essential for sustainable development, as they convert ambient energy to electricity and store it to meet modern energy demands. Low-dimensional nanocomposite materials play a significant role in advancing energy harvesting, energy conversion, and storage technologies, owing to their unique properties and capabilities achieved through the synergistic integration of low-dimensional nanomaterial fillers (such as 0D, 1D, and 2D) with polymers or other materials. In triboelectric mechanical energy harvesting, low-dimensional nanocomposites facilitate the efficient generation of electricity through the contact and separation of materials based on the coupling of contact electrification and electrostatic induction. Furthermore, nanocomposite materials have revolutionized the field of energy storage by increasing the effective surface area of electrodes, resulting in increased specific capacitance, energy density, and cyclic lifespan. This novel approach not only increases the cycle life of supercapacitors but also increases their flexibility and adaptability for a wide range of applications.

This Special Issue offers a platform for researchers to share advancements in using low-dimensional nanocomposites for energy harvesting, energy conversion, and storage technology. We cordially invite researchers and experts to contribute to this Special Issue with short communications, full research articles, and reviews focusing on advances in energy harvesting, conversion, and storage technology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
