Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy storage materials and their applications have long gained the attention of both academic and industry communities. Over the past decade, extensive efforts have been devoted to the development of high-performance lead-free dielectric capacitors, including ferroelectric ceramics, composite ceramics, and multilayer capacitors. Many exciting advances have been made in the development of lead-free energy storage materials and their applications. Bulk ceramics have surpassed the energy storage density of 10 J/cm3. For material systems, the dimensional engineering of the grain and electrical domains played an important role. The finer the ceramic grains, the higher the breakdown strength, which brings KNN-based ceramics with submicron grains into the hotspot of research. Relaxor ferroelectric materials with nanoscale electrical domains have also occupied most of the energy storage field. Recently, the strategy of introducing relaxor ferroelectrics into antiferroelectric systems, to reduce the electric domain size and improve the energy storage performance, has also been proven to be effective. This implies great potential for the dimensional engineering of electrical domains to improve the performance of antiferroelectric systems, which could open up a new chapter in antiferroelectric ceramics for energy storage. Both academic and industry experts will be interested in this Special Issue of Crystals.

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. Crystals 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 2600 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.
