Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of energy conversion and storage methods has attracted a great deal of attention to counter the global energy crisis and environmental issues. Materials science plays a vital part in energy conversion and storage technologies; consequently, a search for novel and efficient materials is the need of the hour. Particularly, two-dimensional (2D) materials have taken centre stage in research, owing to their unique structural, electronic, mechanical, and surface properties which have led to their potential applications in energy conversion and storage.
The goal of this Special Issue is to share the recent progress in the applications of low-dimensional materials in energy conversion and storage. Topics of interest broadly include theoretical and/or experimental research on 2D materials’ properties and applications, including:
- Materials for water splitting;
- Materials for CO2 reduction;
- Thermoelectric materials;
- Materials for photovoltaics;
- Materials for fuel cells;
- Electrode materials for metal ion batteries;
- Piezoelectric materials.

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.
