Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical devices play a key role in various industries. These devices are critical enabling technologies for renewable energy; energy management, conservation, and storage; pollution control/monitoring; and greenhouse gas reduction. There is a substantial growing demand for advanced electrochemical energy systems, such as high-energy-density batteries for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage; next-generation fuel cells with high efficiency, better performance, and long life; and hybrid fossil fuel/storage/renewable energy systems. In most of the electrochemical energy technologies, a great deal of research has been conducted on electrodes and electrolyte materials at a fundamental level to study and optimize the electrochemistry of candidate materials, composites, and assemblies. In this Special Issue, we invite research and review articles, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Advanced electrode and electrolyte materials for lithium ion and non-lithium ion batteries;
- Advanced materials for metal–air batteries and supercapacitors;
- Advanced materials for fuel cells;
- Nanostructured materials for thin film solar cells and optoelectronic devices;
- Organic, inorganic and hybrid materials for solar photovoltaics;
- New design and concept for energy materials;
- Theoretical investigations on electrochemical energy 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. 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.
