Nanostructured Materials for Energy Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Novel nanostructured materials are the centerpiece for emerging technologies. The synthesis and processing of nanostructured materials play a key role in the adoption of such technologies as batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. Moreover, the characterization of such materials becomes more critical, as our understanding of phenomena occurring at atomistic length scales relies heavily on novel characterization techniques equipped with a synchrotron source. Likewise, applications in energy storage and conversion rely heavily on the discovery of novel materials. By exploiting materials at the nanoscale, tremendous advancements have been made that have played a role in developing many industries (e.g., semiconductor, vehicle electrification, photonics, etc.). Research on novel nanostructured materials for energy-related applications requires the dissemination of new and exciting research, and we, therefore, welcome contributions from many different fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: batteries; electrocatalysis; electrodeposition energy; energy storage; fuel cells; hydrogen production; new materials; nanotubes; nanostructures; optoelectronic; photochemical devices; photochemical cells; processing; supercapacitors; synthesis; water harvesting.

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.
