Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystalline materials’ energy storage and conversion is a research hotspot in the field of materials science and energy. With the growth of the global energy demand and the development of renewable energy technologies, there is an increasing demand for efficient and environmentally friendly energy storage and conversion materials. Crystalline materials show great potential in this field because of their unique structure and properties. Crystalline materials play a key role in energy storage, such as lithium- or sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. For example, by improving the structure of a crystalline material, the battery’s energy density and cycle stability can be improved. In terms of energy conversion, crystalline materials are also widely used in photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, fuel cells, and other fields to improve energy conversion efficiency and reduce costs. In the future, with the in-depth research of crystalline materials and the development of new technologies, crystalline materials’ energy storage and conversion is expected to occupy a more important position in the global new energy industry, providing strong material support for the wide application of clean energy.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
