Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-increasing demands for energy are directly influencing global warming, and the scarcity of natural energy resources is steering research attention toward alternative energy resources. In this context, energy-storage devices, which can store energy from various resources for further application, are important research subjects. Among the various types of energy-storage devices available, batteries and supercapacitors are considered highly efficient.
The design and development of catalysts/photocatalysts, which are active and cover the maximum part of the solar energy spectrum, have attracted considerable research attention in recent years. Therefore, many studies have been conducted on semiconductor photocatalysts for visible-light photocatalytic applications. However, metal oxides have a wide band gap, meaning that they cannot utilize the majority of the solar spectrum, and a high photoinduced electron-hole (e–/h+) recombination rate. Therefore, recent research has focused on developing highly active catalysts/photocatalysts, which are an alternative to conventional catalysts.
This Special Issue, Nanomaterials for Catalysis and Energy Storage, broadly focuses on electric double-layer capacitors, hybrid capacitors, Li and sulfur batteries, and fuel cells. We invite authors to contribute original research articles, review articles, and short communications for peer-reviewed publication covering the most recent progress and development in the area of nanomaterials for catalysis and energy storage.

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.
