Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In our ever-evolving quest for sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions, research on electrolytes and energy storage materials takes center stage as a topic of paramount importance. The relentless growth in demand for cleaner and more reliable energy sources has heightened the significance of this field. Batteries, capacitors, and emerging energy storage technologies are central to addressing these global challenges, making it vital to advance our understanding of electrolytes and energy storage materials.

Electrolytes serve as the lifeblood of energy storage systems, enabling the movement of ions and the flow of electrical energy. Research in this field is dedicated to optimizing these crucial components, with a focus on enhancing performance, safety, and environmental sustainability.

Our Special Issue is an invitation to researchers, scientists, and engineers to contribute their original research, reviews, and perspectives on this subject. We aim to create a comprehensive repository of knowledge, fostering the exchange of insights and ideas and providing a platform for the dissemination of groundbreaking research on electrolytes and energy storage materials.

Call for Contributions:

We welcome your contributions to this Special Issue as your research plays a crucial role in advancing this field of research. Your insights will aid in the development of sustainable, efficient, and reliable energy storage solutions, paving the way for a future that is less dependent on fossil fuels and more committed to cleaner and more responsible energy technologies.

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. 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.

We theoretically study plasmon dispersion within the random-phase approximation in two-dimensional systems, including undoped and doped monolayer graphene at zero and finite temperatures, and hole- and electron-doped monolayer XSe (X=In,Ga) and disordered two-dimensional electron gas at zero temperature, in the presence of a non-Coulomb interaction of the form rη. Our findings show that the parameter η, which characterizes the non-Coulombic nature of the interaction, strongly affects the dependence of the plasmon frequency on the wave vector in the long-wavelength limit. Furthermore, the carrier density dependence of the plasmon frequency is unaffected by the parameter η in this regime. For η=1, corresponding to the Coulomb case, the well-known results are fully recovered for all systems studied here. Full article
