Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The challenges of global warming and fossil energy consumption are driving the rapid development of advanced energy technologies. Collecting distributed and renewable energy and preserving it in proper storage cells can efficiently contribute to a green and sustainable planet, although this concept remains in its infancy far from a level of large-scale production. New technologies focused on designing advanced materials and constructing unique nanostructures are methodically promoting the performance of energy devices. To further break through the bottleneck of energy generation and storage, efforts must be devoted to analyzing device performance at an atomic/molecular scale in order to gain insight into the deep mechanisms of these devices.
This Special Issue on “Nanotechnology for Energy Generation and Storage”, will present a broad range of topics covering various fields of energy harvesting, storage, and utilization based on nanomaterials and nanostructures. In addition to individual energy conversion and storage devices, studies detailing new principles of integrated systems to elevate energy utilization efficiency and convenience are also encouraged. Original research articles as well as review papers based on experimental, theoretical, or simulation works are all 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. 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.
