Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical energy conversion and storage is a promising solution to overcome the drawbacks and limitations of existing fossil-fuel-based technologies. The development of electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices has two main directions: the development of high-energy batteries and the development of high-power supercapacitors. The former have high-energy densities through the faradaic lithium redox reaction, while the latter exhibit high-power densities and a long cycling life owing to the fast physical adsorption/desorption of electrolyte ions on the electrode surface. With the advancements in 5G, electric vehicles, and clean energy, the properties of high energy and power, high safety level, long cycling life, low cost, green characteristics, and abundant resources are needed for batteries and supercapacitors. The exploration of advanced electrode nanomaterials, as well as the electrolyte’s composition, determines the crucial electrochemical device parameters. Accordingly, the development of optimized nanomaterials and electrolytes used for the batteries and supercapacitors is expected to have a great impact on device performance and further promote their commercialization.
This Special Issue will attempt to cover the most recent advances in “Advanced Nanomaterials and Electrolytes for Batteries and Supercapacitors”, concerning not only the design, synthesis, and characterization of such electrode materials and electrolytes but also reports of their functional and smart properties to be applied in energy-storage devices.

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.
