Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The expansion of low-cost, high-energy-density and long-serving-life energy storage applications remains a great challenge to improve the trade-off between global energy supply and demand, with intense technological significance for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid-scale energy storage. In this context, the incorporation of micro and nano- structured materials plays a key role in the realization of advanced energy storage devices, due to their exceptional and tunable properties, such as mechanical and electrical properties, high surface-to-volume ratio, etc.
The present Special Issue invites investigators to submit original research articles, letters, as well as review and feature articles and perspective views on fundamental studies, design and the development of micro- and nanomaterials for energy storage applications, including carbon, graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal carbides or MXenes, metal oxides, metal organic frameworks and their composites. The present Special Issue of Batteries focuses on the demonstration of new insights, as well as the potential and challenges in the realization of various energy storage devices, such as batteries, capacitors, fuel cells, accumulators, etc.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Micro- and nanomaterial design and synthesis
- Electrode materials and electrolytes for batteries
- Capacitors and supercapacitors
- Fuel cells
- Thermal energy storage
- Chemical energy storage
- Performance, lifetime and degradation studies

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.
