Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanostructured materials have received significant interest from the perspectives of both scientific research and industrial fields, especially in energy storage and up-conversion luminescent applications. Their suitability for the applications are attributed to the unique properties of these nanostructured materials, such as compositions, tunable porous structures, controllable particle size, large surface area, and controllable surface chemistry. Depending on their synthesis methodology, nanostructured materials will continue to play a critical role in dealing with global challenges. New opportunities to deeply understand the relationship between physical and chemical properties and the design and preparation of novel nanostructured materials from the molecular level can be obtained.
This Special Issue will compile recent developments in the field of nanostructured materials for energy storage and catalytic applications. The articles presented in this Special Issue will cover various topics, ranging from, but not limited to, the synthetic approaches of nanostructured materials, the modification and functionalization of nanostructured materials, the characterization of nanostructured materials, secondary batteries, electrochemical conversion, and catalysis. Topics are also open to up-conversion luminescent nanomaterials for the development of near-infrared photocatalysts applications and electro-chem-luminescent mechanisms investigations.

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.
