Advanced Research on Energy Storage Materials and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Energy storage materials have been the cornerstone of global prosperity and economic growth since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Green industry, energy storage and conservation technologies, and clean energy storage devices have proven to be highly compatible, synergistic pioneering trends. Meanwhile, multifunctional composite energy materials and their emerging applications, such as batteries, liquid flow batteries, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, photovoltaic materials, flexible electronics, and alloy materials, will play an important role in the future.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Innovative materials and composites synthesis from energy storage, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis.
• Innovative approaches to functional materials for electric materials, and other flexible electronics.
• Simulation and computational materials (density functional theory, first-principles calculations, Monte Carlo simulation, and molecular dynamics, etc.)
• Energy storage devices (ion batteries, air batteries, flow batteries, and fuel cells, etc.)

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
