Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrocatalysis is a key technology for clean energy storage and conversion, which plays a vital role in the development of sustainable energy. Nanoscale materials exhibit significant advantages in the electrocatalysis field due to their unique structures and electronic and physicochemical properties, such as high surface area, high surface unsaturated atomic density, high electron mobility, and good structural stability. Electrocatalysis, as a unique form of catalysis, can facilitate charge transfer on the electrode–electrolyte interface and the reactant–electrode interface. To enhance catalytic performance, the rational design of efficient nanoscale electrocatalysts is a promising approach to the development of renewable clean energy.
In recent years, nanoscale electrocatalysts have emerged as a prominent topic of research both domestically and internationally. Despite significant progress in nanoscale electrocatalyst research, there are still issues that hinder its growth and sustainability. This Special Issue aims to report the latest innovative research and development in the nanoscale electrocatalysts field, covering a broad of topics, including the design, synthesis, and application of nanoscale electrocatalysts. We welcome contributions from all related groups that contribute to our understanding of this exciting and rapidly advancing field.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
