Advanced Materials for Energy and Environmental Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced materials for energy and environmental applications (such as rapid heating, anti-fouling/anti-virus surface, chemical sensor, electromagnetic interference shielding, fuel cell, and lithium-ion batteries) have been extensively investgated in the academic and industrial fields. The advent of cabon-based nano-materials (carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon black) and inonganic nano-materials (Ag wire/particles, Cu mesh, and transition metal dichalcogenide) has accelerated research interest in energy and environmental applications.

This Special Issue is focused on the emerging concept and improvement of energy and environmental basic research, as well as in the characterization of micro/nano structures of novel energy and environmental base materials. Topics will include, but are not limited to:

• Design and development of electric heating materials with rapid heating, that are flexible and that have cost-saving properties
• New concepts in the design of eco-friendly anti-fouling/anti-virus materials
• Design and development of electromagnetic interference shielding materials with flexible and reinforced properties
• Novel concepts and the development of chemical base sensors
• Novel concepts and the development of fuel cell and lithium-ion batteries
• New methods and development dispersion of nanomaterials

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications, and reviews will be greatly appreciated.

Prof. Sunghoon Park
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
