Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional interfaces provide new opportunities in energy conversion/storage devices by realizing efficient charge transfer/transport. Nanocomposites consisting of organic or inorganic functional materials are the scaffold for applied science for new physical phenomena as well as highly efficient device applications in multidisciplinary research fields. Many research efforts have been made to create and design material properties for superior device performance. Importantly, tuning the activity of nanocomposites consisting of organic and inorganic components remains elusive even if the combinations have greatly extended structural and functional flexibility over single-component materials demonstrating much success in the energy and display research fields. Here, we will focus on fundamental material properties of nanocomposites for energy-conversion/storage device applications, including batteries, solar cells, photoelectrochemical hydrogen storage, and thermoelectrics. This Special Issue is devoted to interdisciplinary efforts to realize new physical phenomena as well as highly efficient energy and environment devices, focusing on materials processing, fabrication, and characterization with various strategies.

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. Materials 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.
