Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, graphene, carbon dots, etc.), transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes, earth-abundant non-noble-metal nanostructures, metal oxides from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and other types of nanostructures are gaining profound attention due to their remarkable activity in various electrochemical processes and reactions. Advancements in the preparation of new nanomaterials and nanotechnology can improve various photoelectrochemical and electrochemical applications such as water splitting, CO2 conversion, water treatment, photovoltaics, electrochemical sensing, optoelectronic devices, metal–air batteries, fuel cells, electrochemical flow batteries, and other critical processes.
Currently, it is widely accepted that the poor energy conversion efficiency of nanomaterials is the predominant constraint of photo-electrochemical catalysts. This Special Issue, entitled "Novel Approaches to Photoelectrochemical and Electrochemical Nanomaterials", aims to provide a comprehensive account of the recent developments in innovative nanomaterials that have a major impact on the photo and/or electrochemical performance of catalysts. Unique nanomaterial designs, innovative material preparation and processing, detailed nanomaterial characterization, and photo- or electrochemical assessment data for photoelectrochemical/electrochemical applications are the major topics of this Special Issue.

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. 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.
