Multifunctional Electrochemical Energy Storage: New Materials and Methods

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors are essential in our contemporary society, particularly due to the introduction of electric vehicles. This Special Issue of the open access journal Batteries is dedicated to cutting-edge international research on the principles and applications of electrochemical energy storage. This Special Issue will include recent findings related to the synthesis, production, structure, characteristics, performance, and technological application of different electrochemical energy storage units, e.g., supercapacitors, hybrid supercapacitors, batteries, and multifunctional and structural batteries, in addition to strategies and policies related to energy storage materials and their devices for sustainable energy and development. Topics associated with the thermal management of batteries may also be addressed. This Special Issue of Batteries promotes and shares advances in the field of materials, their electrochemical devices and energy conversion, and is an interdisciplinary, rapid-publication platform for original peer-reviewed contributions on the science and engineering of the nanomaterials and nanodevices utilized in energy harvesting, conversion, and storage. 

This Special Issue will publish comprehensive research papers articles/reviews that have good scientific and technological value, impart important new knowledge, and are of great interest to the international community.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
