Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable and environmentally friendly energy storage and conversion technologies are essential to satisfy the dramatically increasing global energy demand and reduce dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels. The development of novel materials plays a key role in improving the properties and performances of devices in varied electrochemical energy applications, including batteries, supercapacitors, flow batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, photocatalysis and thermal energy storage.
This Special Issue will present recent advances in materials used in all electrochemical forms of sustainable energy harvesting, conversion, storage and utilization, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Batteries;
- Supercapacitors;
- Flow batteries;
- Fuel cells;
- Electrocatalysis and electrocatalysts for energy conversion and storage;
- Photocatalysis and photocatalysts for water splitting;
- Hydrogen production and storage;
- Thermochemical, piezoelectric and thermoelectric materials and devices;
- Flexible, self-powered and integrated energy devices/systems.
We invite you to submit a manuscript for inclusion in this Special Issue. Full papers, communications and reviews are all welcome.

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.
