Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on high-performance supercapacitors is focused on new supercapacitor technologies. Climate change is now a global concern, and new energy materials and devices are being extensively studied to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help solve climate change. Supercapacitor materials and devices are very promising due to their quick charge/discharge capabilities and long cycling lifetimes. However, what is the problem with the technology, and how can we broaden its applications?
The success of the supercapacitor technology largely depends on the improvement of its critical properties, such as the energy storage capabilities of the supercapacitor materials and devices.
In order to improve supercapacitor technology, research has been conducted to improve the energy storage capabilities of electrodes, which determine the specific capacitance of the material. Additionally, people are also working to enhance these supercapacitor devices via modeling and system development studies. Therefore, what is the current status of the field, and what can we expect in the future?
This Special Issue discusses the current status and future trend of supercapacitor material and device development, which are important to enhance their performances.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel supercapacitor materials, positive electrodes, negative electrodes, and electrolytes;
- Electrode designs;
- Supercapacitor device designs;
- Electrochemical test methods;
- Modeling;
- Supercapacitor system 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.
