Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium-ion batteries have greatly improved people’s lives and play an important role in reducing global carbon dioxide release. However, due to resource and cost constraints, many other batteries are also extensively researched and developed, such as sodium-ion batteries, zinc-ion batteries, magnesium-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, Li-O2 batteries, etc. In addition, to reduce the CO2 content in the atmosphere and convert it into high-added-value fuels and products, electrocatalysis and solid oxide electrolysis cells etc. are promising strategies. It is worth noting that both strategies are applicable for the production of H2 using water as feed. However, for both batteries and catalysis, there is still much room for improvement in order to meet the needs of practical applications. Such improvements will greatly facilitate the development of the fields through the application of novel materials and advanced characterization technologies.
This Special Issue aims to present and publish the most recent novel materials, advanced characterization techniques, new theories and mechanisms in the fields of batteries and catalysis, etc.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Various energy storage materials and devices.
- The development and utilization of materials in the fields of electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, thermocatalysis, etc.
- Advanced mechanisms studies.
- The application of advanced characterization techniques.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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).
