Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, energy storage systems have become urgently needed to improve power reliability and quality as well as taking full advantage of the high penetration of renewable energy sources. The need to develop energy storage systems with low costs, low risks, high round-trip efficiency and a long cycle life is recognized as an urgent priority. The development of energy storage and applications can contribute to the advances in novel materials with designed morphologies and structures, advanced characterization techniques, modern modelling tools and developed new-type energy storage devices. In addition, the growing studies on energy storage and applications can push forward the rapid development of mobile applications, in particular the development of electric vehicles as an alternative to fossil-fuel-powered transportation.

This Special Issue aims to present the most advances related to the design, fabrication, characterization, modelling, application and improvement of energy storage systems.

Topic of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Strategies and policies of energy storage materials;
• Batteries, fuel cells, capacitors;
• Micro- and nanoenergy conversion systems;
• New-type energy storage devices;
• Advanced modelling methods for energy storage systems;
• Advanced pretreatment methods of spent energy storage devices;
• Battery safety.

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. 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.
