Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce an upcoming Special Issue in the journal "Crystals", focusing on the innovative field of MXene-based nanocomposites and their applications in energy storage. As the demand for more efficient, robust, and scalable energy storage solutions continues to grow, MXenes have emerged as a prominent class of materials, offering remarkable electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and electrochemical properties. This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest advancements in MXene-based nanocomposites, highlighting their synthesis, functionalization, and application across various forms of energy storage systems (such as batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid devices). We invite original research papers, reviews, and short communications that provide new insights into the structural, electrochemical, and physicochemical properties of MXene-based materials. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following: novel synthesis techniques, surface engineering, hybrid material design, and the integration of MXenes with other functional materials. Theoretical and experimental studies that deepen our understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to enhanced energy storage performance are especially welcome. Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts through the journal's submission system, indicating their participation in this Special Issue. For further details on submission guidelines and deadlines, please visit the journal's website. We look forward to your contributions to this cutting-edge topic that advance the frontiers of energy storage technology.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
