Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have emerged as a new class of promising materials with a wide variety of applications in diverse fields. While graphene is considered to be the most important member of this distinct class of materials, hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (hBNNS), nanodimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), and many layered transition metal oxides are also included in the same family. The significantly high surface to volume ratio of such nanomaterials makes them suitable for manufacturing a variety of polymer nanocomposites and hybrid nanocomposites useful for battery applications.
In this Special Issue of Batteries, we invite manuscripts focused on 2D nanomaterials directed towards application in the battery sector, especially in the development of newer anode or cathode electrodes materials including, but not limited to, NMC batteries, NMC/graphite, NMC/Graphene, Li-MnO-Graphene, LTO/Graphene, lithium-metal oxide-graphene, and boron-doped semiconductors. Original research articles and reviews involving synthesis, characterization, fabrication, and applications are welcome.

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. Batteries 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 2700 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.
