Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured materials composed of a single component do not often possess all the desired properties required for delivering optimal device-level performance outcomes in different areas of electrochemical science and technology. The development of nanostructured materials for lab-scale electrochemical energy devices involves the tuning of properties, such as the surface area, conductivity, active site density, chemical and electrochemical stability, and product selectivity. Nanomaterials developed for application in voltammetric devices involve the design of nanoarchitecture that can support the highly sensitive detection of target analytes such as toxic chemicals, biomarkers, and microorganisms with a high degree of accuracy. The advent of two-dimensional nanomaterials and their composites has opened an active area of research, where many of the desired material properties that are not fulfilled by single-component systems can be satisfactorily achieved by the optimal combination of the properties of several individual material components.
The design, synthesis, characterization of advanced materials including two-dimensional materials and their composites are highly diverse and vary depending on the targeted electrochemical application. This Special Issue aims to present the most recent advances and progress achieved in the discovery and development of advanced nanomaterials and nanocomposites for electrochemical applications. We welcome original research articles and review papers focused on the synthesis, unique properties and structure-property-perfromance relationships of advanced nanomaterials and nanocomposites developed for applications in electrochemical energy and bio/chemosensing devices.

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.
