Nano Energy is a multidisciplinary, rapid-publication forum of original peer-reviewed contributions on the science and engineering of nanomaterials and nanodevices used in all forms of energy harvesting, conversion, storage, utilization and policy. Through its mixture of articles, reviews, communications, research news, and information on key developments, Nano Energy provides a comprehensive coverage of this exciting and dynamic field which joins nanoscience and nanotechnology with energy science. The journal is relevant to all those who are interested in nanomaterials solutions to the energy problem.

Description:

Nano Energy publishes original experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of energy-related research which utilizes nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Manuscripts of four types are considered: review articles which inform readers of the latest research and advances in energy science; rapid communications which feature exciting research breakthroughs in the field; full-length articles which report comprehensive research developments; and news and opinions which comment on topical issues or express views on the developments in related fields.

The editors welcome contributions on a variety of topics such as:

• Batteries • Fuel Cells • Hydrogen generation and storage • Light emitting diodes • Optoelectronic devices for efficient energy usage • Photovoltaics • Piezoelectric nanogenerators • Policy and perspectives in energy • Recycling of energy materials • Self-powered nanodevices/nanosystems • Supercapacitors • Thermoelectrics

Special Issue on Advances in Electrochemical CO2 Conversion for Net-Zero Chemical Production
Submission Date: 2024-05-31

This special issue provides the latest progress and advances in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) for carbon capture and utilization.

Special issue information:

This special issue provides the latest progress and advances in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) for carbon capture and utilization. Fundamental understandings and technologies of CO2 electrolysis to convert CO2 into value added fuels and feedstocks will be covered in terms of electrocatalysts, electrode, electrolyte, membranes, and electrolyzers. Research strategies and approaches for enhancing product selectivity, production rate, carbon conversion efficiency, and energy efficiency of CO2RR will be key focus of this special issue.

Manuscript submission information:

The journal’s submission platform (Editorial Manager®) will be available for receiving submissions to this Special Issue. Please refer to the Guide for Authors to prepare your manuscript, and select the article type of "VSI: CO2 Electrolysis for CCU" when submitting your manuscript online. Both the Guide for Authors and the submission portal could be found on the Journal Homepage here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/nano-energy

All the submissions deemed suitable to be sent for peer review will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Upon its editorial acceptance, your article will go into production immediately. It will be published in the latest regular issue, while be presented on the specific Special Issue webpage simultaneously. In regular issues, Special Issue articles will be clearly marked and branded.

Submission Deadline: May 31, 2024
