Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the demand for energy storage materials has been increasing. At present, the main energy storage devices include electrochemical supercapacitors, batteries and dielectric capacitors. Among them, dielectric capacitors with the ultra-high power density and ultra-fast charge–discharge speed have important applications in electrical vehicles and pulse power systems. Functional dielectric materials, as the key component of energy storage dielectric capacitors, are one of the most frequently investigated topics in materials science.
The relatively low energy density of functional dielectric materials limits the miniaturization of dielectric capacitors devices. Research into enhancement of energy density has attracted much interest in the field of functional dielectric research and it is also one of the focuses of this Special Issue.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect articles exploring dielectric materials as regards energy storage applications, including, but not limited to, the design, preparation, structure–property relationship, advanced strategies, technologies, and their applications. We welcome original research that specifically focuses on these areas and hope to provide new ideas for the development of functional dielectric energy storage materials.

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. Materials 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). 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.
