Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The urgent demand for green and sustainable energy materials has fueled a surge in research on biomass-derived materials, which have garnered significant attention due to their renewability and easy accessibility. The abundant defects and oxygen-containing functional groups in such carbon materials provide substantial electrochemical active sites. Therefore, it is particularly essential to develop sustainable critical materials with low cost, high energy density, and long-term cycling stability for rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. This Special Issue will focus on interface engineering and key materials including biomass-derived carbon composites, electrolytes, and separators for supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, zinc-ion batteries, and related systems.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomass-derived composite electrodes;
- Biomass-derived electrolytes;
- All-biomass solid-state (quasi-solid-state) batteries and supercapacitors;
- Biomass-derived separators;
- Interface dynamics behavior based on the biomass-derived electrode/electrolyte interface;
- Flexible biomass-derived batteries and 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 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-anonymized 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.
