Carbon Nanoarchitectures for Advanced Electrochemical Energy Storage Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the rapid depletion of fossil fuels and increasingly serious environmental issues facing the world, sustainable renewable energy conversion devices are now receiving great attention, are energy storage devices. Recently, carbon-based nanomaterials have been extensively studied as excellent candidates for electrochemical energy storage applications due to their high conductivity, chemical stability, enhanced surface area, and excellent electrical properties. As a result, they are attracted increasing amounts of attention among the scientific community. Generally, the electrochemical storage properties of carbon-based nanomaterials are highly dependent on the design of their nanoarchitectures. Thus, efforts have been made to develop novel and improved methods of carbon nanomaterial synthesis, which would allow us to obtain the desired parameters (morphology, nanotexture, surface composition, etc.), resulting in differences in their chemical and physical properties and thus their electrochemical performance. This scientific field is blooming, with many new ideas and discoveries being made, while, at the same time, challenges that need to be thoroughly studied and overcome in the future are being identified.

This Special Issue will focus on discussing the synthesis, design, development, and fundamental advances made in various carbon-based nanoarchitectures (graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, carbon quantum dots, etc.) for applications in electrochemical energy storage. We invite researchers to submit their original results on relevant topics. All types of contributions, including full-length research articles, review articles, and short communications, are welcome.

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-anonymized 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.
