Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement in technology, expansion in the electronic markets, and human population growth, among others, have led to an exponential increase in the demand for global energy, posing challenges regarding energy sustainability, affordability, and accessibility. Furthermore, the continuous burning of fossil fuels to meet the accelerated global energy demand will undoubtedly escalate climatic changes, thereby impeding the implementation of the COP2023 agreement. Therefore, transitioning global energy from fossil fuels to greener energy sources remains the only sustainable solution. Electrochemical energy conversion and storage (EECS) technologies, including electrochemical supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, etc., use electrochemical reactions to convert or store energy in different forms. These technologies could be employed in various applications, ranging from grid management to renewable energy generation and storage.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the recent progress and advancement in electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies.
Topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hydrogen production and storage;
- Fuel cells;
- Rechargeable batteries;
- Supercapacitors;
- CO2 electroreduction and storage;
- Electrosynthesis;
- Advanced electrochemical materials (nanomaterials);
- Fundamental understanding of electrochemical processes;
- Electrocatalysis.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
