Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will compile cutting-edge research on energy storage technology, addressing the intermittency and volatility challenges associated with the large-scale integration of renewable energy, thereby supporting the global energy transition and decarbonization goals. Currently, energy storage technologies are undergoing diversified breakthroughs, including improvements in the energy density, charging speed, and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries; the maturation of non-lithium technologies such as solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and flow batteries; and the development of long-duration storage solutions such as hydrogen storage, thermal storage, and gravity storage. These advancements collectively enhance grid stability and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
This Special Issue welcomes original research submissions covering key technological breakthroughs, system integration and intelligent management, as well as assessments of economic and environmental benefits.
Topic of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Distributed energy systems;
- Energy and climate change;
- Carbon emission and utilization;
- Recycling of material and energy streams;
- Energy storage and applications;
- Batteries, fuel cells, capacitors;
- Phase change materials for energy storage;
- Thermodynamics;
- Exergy analysis;
- New working fluids for energy applications.

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.
