Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the fast depletion of fossil fuels and the growing climate change, high demand is in need to make efficient use of energy and to substitute fossil fuels with renewable and clean energy sources. As an intermediate step to the sustainable and versatile use of energy, energy storage systems have received growing global concern and research interest. Rechargeable batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large-scale grids due to their high energy density, while supercapacitors can be used either independently or in combination with batteries because of their high modularity and scalability. However, their limited energy density, poor safety, and high cost has greatly hindered their further applications. Thus, new rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors based on advanced materials and electrolytes with more intriguing features need to be further investigated.

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.
