Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to extend an invitation to contribute to our forthcoming Special Issue entitled "Electrodes and Coatings for Energy Storage Applications: Batteries and Supercapacitors". This Special Issue aims to explore electrodes and coatings tailored for various energy storage applications, particularly those paving the way for next-generation energy storage solutions.
Given your remarkable expertise in and significant contributions to this burgeoning field, we invite you to submit original research papers or mini-reviews that focus on the application of electrodes and coatings for lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries, solid-state lithium/sodium-metal batteries, sodium-ion and sodium-metal batteries, aqueous zinc-ion and zinc-metal batteries, and supercapacitors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- 3D-printed electrode coatings;
- Artificial interphase coatings;
- Atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) electrode coatings;
- Printed supercapacitors;
- Dry-processed electrodes;
- Polymer coatings for electrodes;
- Coatings to prevent dendrites in metal batteries;
- Coatings for batteries and supercapacitors, produced by thermal spray, laser and plasma processing, CVD, plating, ALD, MLD, etc.
We welcome submissions that cover aspects of material development, testing, modelling, applications, and economic analysis within the scope of this Special Issue.
Your valuable contributions will enrich the discourse on electrodes and coatings for energy storage applications.

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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
