Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

As a part of the worldwide effort to curb global warming, most countries have established goals to regulate CO₂ emissions from power plants and vehicles. Accordingly, the markets of renewable energy, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles are becoming larger. In addition, the importance of electrochemical energy storage devices has increased along with the fourth industrial revolution. Despite many great efforts, people still desire larger capacity, longer cycle life, and faster charging of battery systems.  

This Special Issue has the aim of current progress in the electrochemical energy storage devices with particular attention to new materials and systems. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit full papers, communication, and reviews focused on novel materials, systems, electrochemical analysis, and other aspects related to the Special Issue topic. Manuscripts detailing research and investigation into primary and secondary batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors will be also warmly welcomed.

Dr. Yong Nam Jo
Guest Editor

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
