Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on materials science and chemistry, particularly in the areas of energy storage and conversion. Research includes the development and characterization of advanced materials like metal-organic frameworks, hollow structures, and carbon-based materials for applications such as batteries (sodium-ion, lithium-ion, metal-air), electrocatalysis (CO2 reduction, oxygen reduction/evolution), and energy storage systems. The scope also encompasses understanding degradation pathways, improving material stability and performance, and exploring novel synthesis and design strategies for these materials.
