Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable resources, such as wind and solar, are becoming competitive technologies with a steady increase in production volume and decrease in energy generation costs. The problems associated with the intermittency and the fluctuating nature of renewables increasingly threaten the stability of the electricity grid. Redox flow batteries (RFBs), which are essentially rechargeable batteries with electroactive chemicals dissolved in solutions, offer a way to store excess energy at varying scales. A serious current challenge is the discovery and development of key material components for the advancement of RFB technologies. In this Special Issue of Batteries, we invite both fundamental and applied research articles and reviews addressing issues related to the development or application of RFB active materials, electrodes, electrolytes, catalysts, membranes, modeling and characterization techniques.

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.
