Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing concern for environmental protection, renewable power generation systems have been widely developed. However, due to their unpredictable and intermittent output characteristics, energy storage devices are important to deposit the load and then deliver a continuing and constant output. Moreover, owing to the fast development of electric vehicles, the development of advanced energy storage technology is imperative and urgently needed. Currently, many energy storage technologies have been investigated, such as alkaline-ion batteries, Mg-ion batteries, metal–air batteries, and lithium–sulfur batteries; beyond batteries, there are still other energy storage devices, for example, various capacitances. An understanding of the different energy storage systems and therefore proper applications of these systems is highly desired for this Special Issue.
The properties of the energy devices strongly rely on the used electrode materials. The nanostructures, chemical composition, and crystal structure will more or less affect the characteristics of the electrode materials, thereby influencing the device’s properties. Investigating the properties of electrode materials and their impacts on the performance of different energy storage devices is thus desirable. In this context, we are calling for papers on this Special Issue to promote the current investigation into semiconducting nanomaterials for energy storage systems.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
