Summary
Advanced renewable materials have
been the cornerstone of global prosperity and economic growth since the
beginning of the industrial revolution. Global energy consumption has become a
huge burden on the world economy. Recently, carbon neutrality and energy
recycling have attracted the attention of several researchers. Green industry,
energy storage and conservation technologies, and clean energy storage devices have
proven to be highly compatible and synergistic pioneering trends. Meanwhile,
mineral and energy materials are the key research direction of Fujian Silicate
Society. Thus, advanced technologies using renewable mineral and energy
materials and their emerging applications, such as batteries, liquid flow
batteries, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, photovoltaic materials, field
effect transistors and flexible electronics, and alloy materials, will play an
important role in future life.
This Special Issue of “Advanced Renewable Mineral and Energy
Materials” covers general topics on energy
materials, catalytic
materials composites based on renewable material.
The scope of this issue can be expanded from the synthesis and design of advanced renewable energy materials and their applications.
Interdisciplinary approaches are also much welcomed. This issue will publish
full research papers and reviews. Areas to be covered in this Research Topic
may include, but are not limited to:
• innovative materials and composites
synthesis from energy storage, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis.
• innovative approaches to functional materials
for photoelectric materials, field-effect transistors, and
other flexible electronics.
• simulation and computational materials
(density functional theory, first-principles calculations, monte carlo
simulation, molecular dynamics, etc….)
• energy storage devices (ion batteries, air batteries, flow batteries, fuel cells, etc….)
