Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterogeneous nanocomposites with abundant active sites and synergistic effects from multiphases have been explored as advanced electrode materials, and have been intensively applied in the field of energy conversion and storage (e.g., electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, lithium/sodium ion batteries, supercapacitors). Generally, the electrochemical performance is determined by the molecule/ion adsorption, diffusion and catalysis behavior on/in the electrode materials. The development of novel electrode materials with heterointerface, tailored composition, and multi-dimensional nanostructure, and the theoretical understanding of the reactivity mechanism at atomic level have attracted a great deal of attention from those working to optimize the electrochemical process, opening up opportunities and approaches to develop higher-performance electrode materials for various applications.
This Special Issue, “Advances of Heterogeneous Nanocomposites for Energy Applications”, will present the most recent progress and new developments in the synthesis and utilization of heterogeneous nanocomposites for highly efficient energy conversion and storage. The related topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Preparation and characterization of advanced nanocomposites designed for energy-related applications;
- Applications of novel nanocomposites across multiple fields;
- Novel methods towards the synthesis of nanocomposites with different morphologies and/or modification of surface and structural properties;
- Micro- and nano-structured nanocomposites with advanced properties.
Original research articles, short communications, and comprehensive review 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 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.
