Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical energy conversion and storage play crucial roles in meeting the increasing demand for renewable, portable, and affordable power supplies for society. The increasing energy demand is significantly driving rapid development in technologies in this field, such as (photo-)electrochemical fuel cells, rechargeable batteries, and supercapacitors. The corresponding electrochemical process fundamentally involves a series of physical interactions and/or chemical reactions at the electrode surface and/or the electrode/electrolyte interface, and their kinetics are closely associated with the transport behaviors of electrons and ions. Therefore, common issues that must be addressed to improve electrochemical energy conversion and storage performance are how to optimize electrode materials and the mass transport of electrons and ions. Recently, advanced nanostructured materials have received tremendous interest due to their unique mechanical/electrical properties and overall behavior, contributed to by the complex synergy of bulk and interfacial properties. This Special Issue aims to attract both academic and industrial researchers to present comprehensive research outlining the progress in the application of advanced nanostructures to improve the performance of electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress on advanced nanostructures in this field.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Well-defined nanostructures;
- 3D nanostructures;
- Solar cell and dye solar cell;
- Lithium-ion battery;
- Supercapacitors;
- Fuel cell;
- Nanostructured composites.

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 2900 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.
