Summary
Current advances in industrial and technological fields are becoming increasingly dependent on energy. The widespread adoption of renewable energies is a fundamental step to meet these unceasing needs and allows moving towards environmental sustainability, creating a healthier planet and a safer energy future for all, thus avoiding abrupt climate changes largely caused by greenhouse gas emissions and pollution from the use of fuels that emit CO2 and other gases.
The development of new electrode materials intended to produce clean energy and contributing to environmental and health monitoring has thus become a major area of interest with regard to the improvement and generation of cost-effective electrodes, scalable and durable with large surfaces, excellent conductivity, energy density, cycle life, safety and tailored functionality for specific electrochemical applications including (but not limited to) energy storage and conversion, sensing (monitoring of food and drugs), water treatment technologies, green hydrogen production, greenhouse gas conversion, sustainable manufacturing, advanced characterization, and performance evaluation in batteries and supercapacitors....
The purpose of this special issue is to select innovative articles (original papers, reviews, and communications) related to the development of new electrode materials for energy storage, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells and environmental and health monitoring as well as emerging applications and industrial scalability.
