Novel Electrode and Electrolyte Materials for Energy Storage Devices

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect submissions from scientists focused on topics related to energy storage and conversion, and those whose scientific approaches are related to the search for novel and innovative materials with potential applicability in sustainable applications. Specifically, studies with an interest in nano-scaled materials with a wide chemical structure, such as oxides, phosphates, silicates, metals, or other composite forms obtained from biological wastes, are welcome, among others.

After three decades of the development of energy storage systems based on lithium-ion technology, research into post lithium-ion batteries has emerged as a new strategy to complement them. The rapid growth of renewable energies such as solar and wind requires these new technologies. It seems that nanoscience and nanotechnology coupled with energy science are finding new connections for original developments.

For this article collection, the submission of relevant manuscripts dealing with original research results, communications, perspectives, or reviews is encouraged. The contribution could be focused on strategies to obtaining real progress on novel nanomaterials, composite electrodes (cathodes, anodes), electrolytes composition, and battery application.

Contributions regarding a variety of topics are welcomed, such as:

• Energy storage systems (batteries, supercapacitors, redox flow..);
• Ion storage (Li, Na, Mg,Zn, Ca, etc);
• Perspectives in energy;
• Nano-materials and nano-coatings;
• Material modeling and simulations;
• Interphases;
• Pseudo-capacitives phenomena;
• Surface properties;
• Sustainable approaches.

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. Nanoenergy Advances is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
