Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production and consumption of traditional energy sources have, until now, had significant impacts on climate change, global warming, and the treatment of various waste products. In light of this, to mitigate the use of fossil fuels and cater to the growing energy demands, there is an imperative need to develop techniques for green energy collection and high-performance energy technologies in the hopes of achieving zero emissions. These technologies ought to be grounded either in recycling practices or the innovative development of novel functional materials.
Regarding materials, conventional ones often face limitations due to their confined efficiency and performance, limited durability and availability, as well as potential environmental repercussions and high material costs. Consequently, in the coming years, the concept of sustainable materials and techniques will gain increasing prominence in efforts to diminish environmental impacts.
We cordially invite you to submit your research findings to our Special Issue entitled "Multifunctional Nanomaterials for Energy: Synthesis, Characteristics, and Applications" in the journal Processes.
The objective of this Special Issue is to encompass the latest research in the domain of multifunctional nanomaterials for energy applications. This encompasses the synthesis processes of nanomaterials, their characteristics, their properties pertaining to specific energy forms, and their applications. The source materials could range from semiconductors, carbon, and composites to other materials applicable in the energy sector. Thus, this Special Issue will particularly emphasize solutions provided by new types of nanomaterials and the judicious use of alternative materials at a smaller scale to enhance the efficiency of energy generation or collection.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
