Molecular Insights and Design Strategies for Emerging Nanomaterials in Electrochemical Energy Storage

Dear Colleagues,

Nanoarchitecture design significantly influences various energy and environmental domains, spanning from rechargeable batteries, flow batteries, supercapacitors, microelectronics, chemical sensors, to electrocatalytic cathodes/anodes. This novel discipline delves into how structure and surface chemistry impact charge transfer, molecular transport, and ion diffusion. Exploring structure–performance connections further promotes the future development of cutting-edge functional materials with exceptional attributes.

This Special Issue focuses on the molecular aspects of preparing and enhancing nanomaterials to improve charge transfer and interactions with substances and electronics. Moreover, it seeks to offer in-depth insights into the intricate interplay of structure and electrochemical performance, fostering an extensive comprehension of molecular-scale electronic/ionic transport mechanisms. These endeavors collectively drive the rapid progress of nanomaterials’ applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
