Summary

The progress of the key electrode materials is a key factor for the performance of the energy storage and conversion devices. Among various electrode candidates, chalcogenide materials are being widely and rapidly studied owing to their high energy density, good electrocatalytic performances. The inherent properties of these materials allow them to collect and convert the energy into other accessible forms that are convenient for storage. In recent years, advanced chalcogenide materials have made significant progress in energy storage and conversion as well as devices application. This special issue aims to call for the latest developments in the control of synthesis, growth mechanisms, and engineering applications of advanced chalcogenide materials in energy storage and conversion.

The following suggested themes are the particular interests of this special issue, including but not limited to
• Advanced chalcogenide materials for secondary energy storage such as new lithium-ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, metal-air batteries, supercapacitors, etc.
• Advanced chalcogenide materials for fuel cell catalysis
• Advanced chalcogenide materials for photocatalytic energy conversion
• Advanced chalcogenide materials for catalytic conversion and storage of carbon dioxide
