Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, in order to circumvent energy and environmental issues in the development of electrified vehicles, electrochemical energy storage devices, including ion batteries and supercapacitors, are important in a wide range of fields. The high performance of batteries and supercapacitors is determined by the structure of their electrode materials, the compatibility of their electrolytes, the stability of their collectors, the assembly of batteries and so on.
However, state-of-the-art energy storage devices still suffer from limited energy/power density, short cycling and lower safety. Much effort have been made to improve their performance, e.g., advanced nanostructured cathode materials, new types of electrolytes, current collector majorization. Additionally, further understanding storage mechanisms is key to good analysis. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we are looking for research into novel designs of electrode materials, electrolytes and storage device assembly, as well as storage mechanisms.

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. 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.
