Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the contemporary energy-driven world, the demand for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions has become more pressing than ever. Supercapacitors, including electric double-layer capacitors, pseudocapacitors, and hybrid-ion capacitors, have stepped into the spotlight as pivotal energy storage devices in recent years. Their preeminent characteristics, including a high power density, a long-lasting life cycle, and rapid charging–discharging capabilities, render them highly attractive for a wide array of applications. In the realm of portable electronics, supercapacitors enable instant charging, significantly enhancing user convenience. In large-scale energy storage for power grids, their long-term stability can help to balance intermittent power generation from renewable sources. This Special Issue aims to present the most recent and cutting-edge research and development in the field of supercapacitors. It comprehensively covers a broad spectrum of aspects, such as advanced electrode materials, novel electrolytes, new hybrid-ion capacitors, and device fabrication and integration, among others.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced materials for electric double-layer capacitors, pseudocapacitors, and hybrid-ion capacitors;
- Structural design and optimization and the application of novel electrode materials;
- Novel and benign electrolytes for supercapacitors;
- Hybrid ion capacitors: design and optimization;
- Device fabrication and the integration of supercapacitors;
- Applications of supercapacitors in renewable energy systems;
- Novel architectures for high-performance supercapacitors.

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.
