Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy and vice versa provides promising strategies to meet the ever-growing deployment of renewable energy. Systems of electrochemical energy storage and conversion today have already played an essential role in powering various portable, automotive, and stationary devices. To maximize energy storage density and conversion efficiency, research on both electrode materials and electrochemical reaction processes is a worthy endeavor.
Significant progress has been made in recent years toward the development of high-performance electrochemical technologies, including the fabrication of new catalysts with controllable composition and structure, in situ/operando characterization of catalytic processes, as well as theoretical approaches for the understanding of catalytic mechanisms. On one hand, the cost reduction, energy density promotion, and stabilization associated with the use of catalytic mechanisms continue to optimize their cost-effective commercialization. On the other hand, the complexity of this technology requires collaborative efforts involving the disciplines of chemistry, physics, materials science, as well as computational modeling/simulation.
This Special Issue invites high-quality research articles both in experimental and theoretical studies toward electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies. Reviews and perspectives to share and discuss the latest developments and future trends in this promising field are also welcome.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells;
- Water splitting;
- Electrochemical CO2 reduction;
- Electrochemical synthesis of high value-added chemicals;
- Advanced nanomaterials for energy applications;
- In situ/operando techniques for understanding energy storage and conversion processes;
- Theoretical studies and computational modeling of catalytic mechanisms;
- Machine learning for energy storage and conversion.

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.
