Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global demand for clean, efficient, and reliable energy is driving rapid advancements in science and technology. To support this progress, high-quality research must address fundamental mechanisms as well as practical innovations that enable secure and sustainable energy systems. This Special Issue of Energies is dedicated to publishing original contributions that advance understanding across the full spectrum of energy research, from fundamental studies to applied technologies.
We welcome submissions in the form of original research articles, reviews, and communications. Contributions may focus on experimental, numerical, or theoretical investigations related to energy supply, conversion, storage, dispatch, and end use. Studies that clarify the thermodynamics and kinetics of physical and chemical processes, propose new approaches for energy conversion and efficiency improvements, or demonstrate breakthroughs in storage and integration technologies are especially encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Renewable energy generation and integration
- Electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical energy storage
- Advances in energy conversion technologies
- Smart energy systems and dispatch optimization
- Materials and devices for next-generation energy applications
- Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses of energy processes
The overarching objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, showcasing both fundamental discoveries and applied solutions that can accelerate the development of modern energy systems. By contributing to this collection, authors will help address pressing global energy challenges and contribute to shaping the scientific and technological foundation for a sustainable future.

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.
