Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global concerns regarding fossil fuel exhaustion and related environmental degradation have stimulated tremendous research efforts into the exploration and utilization of renewable and clean energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. Energy storage and energy conversion are the two most important technologies in today’s sustainable and green energy science and have attracted a great deal of attention for daily applications. More importantly, exploring the suitable energy materials with high-perfomance is of vital significance for the promotion of these technologies. To date, substantial novel nanomaterials have been extensively explored for these energy-related fields, however, each material has its problems, restricting their ability to fulfill the requirements for high-performance energy storage and convsersion devices. To meet the high technological requirements of future energy-related applications, the development of advanced functional materials is highly desired. Recently, the concept of designing/constructing heterostructured materials for the applications of energy storage and conversion has been considered as a promising strategy and has received increasing attention. Particually, heterostructures can offer opportunities for utilizing synergistic effects between the individual building blocks to achieve intriguing and significant properties and enhanced performance. Herein, this Special Issue aims to encompass original research works, short communications, and mni-reviews on innovative approaches for the rational design and controllable synthesis of advanced heterostructured materials and their appealing applications in energy‐related fields (such as rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, and catalysis, etc.).

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.
