Many new game-changing materials have already impacted our lives and contributed to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, such as high-efficiency photovoltaic cells, blue light-emitting diodes, and cathodes for Li-ion batteries. However, new breakthroughs in materials science and technology are required to boost the clean energy transition. All success stories in materials science are built upon a tailored control of the interconnected processes that take place at the nanoscale, such as charge excitation, charge transport and recombination, ionic diffusion, intercalation, and the interfacial transfer of matter and charge. Nanostructured materials, thanks to their ultra-small building blocks and the high interface-to-volume ratio, offer a rich toolbox to scientists that aspire to improve the energy conversion efficiency or the power and energy density of a material. Furthermore, new phenomena arise in nanoparticles, such as surface plasmon resonance, superparamegntism, and exciton confinement. The ten articles published in this Special Issue showcase the different applications of nanomaterials in the field of energy storage and conversion, including electrodes for Li-ion batteries and beyond, photovoltaic materials, pyroelectric energy harvesting, and (photo)catalytic processes. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aPhysics$2bicssc 610 $ananoparticle 610 $ananoalloy 610 $acatalyst 610 $aCO2 reduction 610 $ahydrocarbon 610 $asynthetic fuel 610 $airon 610 $acobalt 610 $aperovskite solar cell 610 $ahole transport layer 610 $aCuCrO2 nanoparticles 610 $athermal stability 610 $alight stability 610 $aaluminum ion batteries 610 $areduced graphene oxide 610 $atin dioxide 610 $a3D electrode materials 610 $amechanical properties 610 $aTiO2 610 $aazo dye 610 $awastewater treatment 610 $aphotocatalysis 610 $asodium formate 610 $adry etching 610 $ablack silicon 610 $aphotovoltaics 610 $aplasmonics 610 $aheterogeneous catalysis 610 $ananoparticles 610 $asingle molecule localization 610 $asuper-resolution microscopy 610 $asurface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy 610 $aLi-ion batteries 610 $aanodes 610 $aintermetallics 610 $asilicon 610 $acomposites 610 $ananomaterials 610 $acoating 610 $amechanochemistry 610 $azinc sulfide 610 $awurtzite 610 $aco-precipitation synthesis 610 $asolvent recycling 610 $agreen synthesis 610 $ascaling up 610 $apilot plant 610 $achalcopyrite compounds 610 $ananocrystals 610 $ahydrothermal 610 $aspin coating 610 $aEIS 610 $aconductivity 610 $alithium-ion batteries 610 $aSnO2 610 $ananoarray 610 $aanode 610 $ahigh-rate 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aPhysics 700 $aPasquini$b Luca$4edt$01297637 702 $aPasquini$b Luca$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585939403321 996 $aNanostructured Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion$93035976 997 $aUNINA
