Carbons and Electrolytes for Advanced Supercapacitors and Batteries

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a forthcoming Special Issue of Batteries (MDPI) titled “Carbons and Electrolytes for Advanced Supercapacitors and Batteries”. With this Special Issue, we aim to highlight recent advancements in the development and integration of carbon materials and electrolytes, which are pivotal in enhancing the performance of supercapacitors and batteries. The synergy between carbon-based materials and electrolytes plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency, capacity, and longevity of energy storage devices. Understanding and optimizing these interactions are essential for the advancement of next-generation energy storage systems.

We invite original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Carbon materials for energy storage applications.
• Fabrication of structural supercapacitors and multifunctional batteries using carbon based-composite materials.
• Advanced manufacturing methods (e.g., 3D printing, electrospinning) for carbon-composite electrodes.
• Integration of conductive nanofillers (CNTs, graphene) into polymer composites for enhanced electrochemical performance.
• Hybrid carbon-based materials for flexible energy storage devices.
• Thermo-mechanical stability and flexibility of composite electrolytes for flexible/wearable devices.
• Development of carbon-based fiber-reinforced composites for energy storage applications.
• Sustainable materials for batteries and supercapacitors.
• Advancements in liquid, solid-state, and gel polymer electrolytes.
• Studies on electrode-electrolyte interfaces.

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. 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.
