Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Advanced Nanomaterial for Sustainable Energy Conversion and Storage," will showcase cutting-edge research on the design, synthesis, and application of novel nanomaterials, addressing critical challenges in the global energy landscape. As the demand for clean and efficient energy technologies increases, nanoscale engineering offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance the performance of devices for both energy conversion (e.g., photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, and electrocatalysis) and storage (e.g., lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and emerging solid-state systems). We invite contributions exploring varied materials, including, but not limited to, metal oxides, chalcogenides, carbon nanostructures (graphene, carbon nanotubes), MXenes, and hybrid nanocomposites. Key areas of interest include strategies for optimizing ionic/electronic transport, increasing active site density, managing interfacial phenomena, and improving structural stability under operational conditions. Furthermore, articles focusing on sustainable synthesis routes, the role of defects and doping, and the fundamental understanding of structure–property–performance relationships through advanced characterization and theoretical simulations are particularly welcome. This Special Issue will provide a platform for interdisciplinary research that bridges materials chemistry, physics, and engineering to pave the way for next-generation sustainable energy solutions.

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. Solids 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 1200 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.
