Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Powerful electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices are considered one of the greatest challenges for our society in the rapid development of science and technology today. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells are three most promising candidates in terms of energy densities and power densities. Transition metal-based nanomaterials (TMNs) including metal oxides, metal carbide, metal nitride, and metal sulfide are currently of interest for these devices because of their eco-friendly, novel size effects, significantly enhanced kinetics, and so on. Therefore, rational design of earth-abundant transition metal-based nanomaterials and understanding of their electrochemical behavior are of great importance for developing next-generation electrocatalysts or electrode materials for electrochemical energy devices. We believe that this research topic has both academic and technological importance and could offer exciting new science for cross-disciplinary areas.

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.
