Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Materials in nanoscale dimensions possess unique electronic, physical, and mechanical properties compared with their bulk counterparts, enabling their diverse applications in batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, fuel cells, multifunctional catalysts, and many more. In particular, nanocomposites synergistically combine the unique properties of multiple nanomaterial components, and their multiple functionalities offer them more flexibility in chemical composition, morphology, and properties for specific applications. Research on composite nanomaterials has recently provided opportunities in a broad spectrum of novel energy-related applications; this includes energy harvesting, conversion, and storage. We invite authors to contribute comprehensive reviews and original research articles covering the most recent progress and new developments in designing advanced nanocomposites for energy-related applications. The format of welcomed articles includes full papers, communications, perspective views, and reviews. We believe this research topic will bring a broad impact and is of interest to a broad spectrum of readers in chemistry, materials, nanoscience, and energy science and technologies.
The areas to be covered in this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to:
- Prediction and simulation of the properties of novel nanocomposite systems
- Structural and compositional design of nanocomposites and new synthetic methods
- Advanced characterization of nanocomposites
- Fundamental understanding of the synergy of nanocomposites
- Performance optimization of nanocomposites for energy-related applications

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 2600 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.
