Energy storage and conversion techniques are the cornerstones of a sustainable future, allowing us to capture renewable energy when it’s abundant. 1D fibrous materials having unique properties, such as high surface to volume ratio and conductivity, can revolutionize advanced energy storage and conversion devices. These unique properties make them a key material for next-generation clean energy technologies. This special themed collection will explore the full potential of various 1D fibrous based materials for energy conversion and storage application including, but not limited to;
- Design, synthesis, and characterization of 1D fibrous materials for energy storage (batteries, supercapacitors) and conversion (solar cells, water splitting, fuel cells, electrolyzers, thermoelectric materials).
- Exploring novel 1D fibrous materials with improved storage and conversion efficiencies.
- Theoretical understanding of 1D fibrous materials for energy conversion and storage techniques.
- Mechanistic study of 1D fibrous catalyst includes in-situ characterisation and machine learning.
- Cost-effective and real time fabrication of 1D fibrous materials towards practical/industrial applications.
Submissions should fit within the scope of the collection and Materials Advances. Please click on the journal link for more information on the journal’s scope, standards, article types and author guidelines.
Open for submissions until 15th April 2025
If you are interested in submitting a review-type article, please contact the Editorial Office at materialsadvances-rsc@rsc.org in the first instance with a proposed title and abstract as initial approval is required before submission to limit the number of review-type articles and avoid potential topic overlap.
Please note that article processing charges apply to all articles submitted to Materials Advances if, following peer-review, they are accepted for publication. Details of the APC can be found here. Corresponding authors who are not already members of the Royal Society of Chemistry are entitled to one year’s Affiliate membership as part of their APC. Find out more about our member benefits.
If your institution has a read and publish deal with the RSC you may be entitled to a discount or waiver to publish your manuscript. We encourage you to use our new journal finder tool to see if you are eligible for a discount or waiver through an institutional deal.
