Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The application of nanomaterials in efficient energy conversion and storage (EECS) has gained significant attention due to the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. Reliable and scalable storage systems to support the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid are urgently needed. The development of advanced battery technologies, such as solid-state and lithium-ion batteries, and the exploration of novel nanomaterials and fuel cell designs, water-based photo/electrolysis, flexible wearable devices and (super)capacitors are current topics in EECS. To address the challenges in this field, it is crucial to focus on improving the energy density, cycle life and safety of electrochemical devices, as well as reducing their costs and environmental impact. This can be achieved through continued research into novel nanomaterials, manufacturing processes and system integration, as well as the optimization of control and management strategies for energy storage systems. By addressing these aspects, more efficient and sustainable energy conversion and storage solutions can be developed in this Special Issue. The Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Full cells;
  • Photo/electrolysis;
  • Supercapacitors;
  • Flexible wearable devices;
  • Lithium-ion battery.

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.
