Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demand for efficient energy storage solutions has led to research into novel battery technologies, with a particular focus on solid-state batteries and alternatives to conventional lithium-ion (Li-ion) systems, such as sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries. Nanostructured materials offer promising avenues for enhancing the performance of these batteries, addressing challenges related to energy density, cycling stability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent developments and breakthroughs in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanostructured materials for solid-state batteries, Li-ion batteries, Na-ion batteries, and beyond. Contributions will cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, nanostructured electrodes, electrolytes, separators, and interfaces, as well as advanced characterization techniques and computational modeling approaches. By bringing together cutting-edge research in this field, this Special Issue will provide insights into the potential of nanostructured materials to revolutionize energy storage technologies and accelerate the transition toward sustainable and reliable battery systems.

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.
