The Cutting Edge of Energy Materials Research Aimed at Practical Application

Dear Colleagues,

Research on energy materials has made great progress in recent years. Several innovative materials, such as perovskite solar cells and energy-efficient wide-gap semiconductors like GaN and SiC, are being developed with a view to practical application. Considering this social background, MDPI's Crystals has planned a Special Issue titled "The Cutting Edge of Energy Materials Research Aimed at Practical Application." Focusing on energy materials with a view to practical application, this Special Issue will collect cutting-edge academic and applied research papers. Energy materials to be focused on include perovskite materials, battery materials (including supercapacitors), wide-gap semiconductors, and thermoelectric materials (including electrochemical type). In addition to original research papers, we are also seeking review papers that provide an overview of certain aspects of the constantly evolving energy materials.

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.
