Advanced Studies on High-Performance Metal-Ion Capacitors: Technologies, Systems and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "Battery Materials and Interfaces: Anode, Cathode, Separators and Electrolytes or Others".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-ion capacitors as newly developed hybrid electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems are composed of a battery-type electrode and supercapacitor-type electrode, coupled with the redox reaction and electric double layer behavior, which could achieve the desired peculiarities of a high energy density, large power density and long lifespan. However, due to the incompatibleness of two different energy storage mechanisms, the electrochemical performances are unsatisfactory. Moreover, the construction of advanced metal-ion capacitors is mainly limited by key bottlenecks such as the kinetics mismatching between electrodes, unclear storage mechanism of electrodes and uncontrollable pre-metalation technology. To address these concerns, this edition discusses the technologies, systems and applications of metal-ion capacitors.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Energy storage mechanism of metal-ion capacitors;
- Key technologies of metal-ion capacitors;
- Pre-metalation methods;
- Electrolytes;
- Advanced characterizations for metal-ion capacitors;
- Cell structure designs.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
