Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the recent awareness of climate change and its associated issues, electrochemical energy storage systems (secondary batteries and super- or pseudocapacitors) are important and established technologies which have attracted significant interest from scientists and industries, owing to their excellent performance in various fields (e.g., portable electronics, electro-mobility, renewable energies). In all of these devices, carbon-based materials play a fundamental role as active materials, conductive agents, supporting scaffolds, etc.
For this Special Issue, we are seeking contributions that improve the knowledge related to the use of carbon-based materials in electrochemical energy storage systems, both in their conventional uses and in more innovative and unexplored ones.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Active carbon-based materials for alkaline-ion batteries;
- Active carbon-based materials for supercapacitors;
- Novel carbon-based materials in the circular economy framework;
- Carbon-based materials from biological or inorganic waste;
- Carbon-based materials in battery recycling;
- Carbon-based scaffolds;
- Advanced electrochemical techniques applied to carbon-based materials;
- Modeling of carbon material behavior in energy storage devices.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
