Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The research fields of energy sustainability and water sanitation are part of a challenging worldwide strategy to achieve two global goals, i.e., social prosperity and economic development. Until now, world energy consumption has been mostly satisfied by fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas). Reservoir depletion reservoir and greenhouse gas issues are threatening world energy security, thus encouraging the development of clean and cost-competitive renewable energy sources. An example is electrochemical technology, which has given birth to clean and noiseless energy generators. Electrochemical energy systems promise energy sustainability, effective energy conversion and storage, environmental friendliness, less greenhouse gas emission, and economical reasonableness.
The development of materials for sustainable energy in this context is essential. For example, the selection of materials for microbial fuel cells is based on three steps: the first is the selection of the support electrode material and its pretreatment. The second step is the catalyst loading onto the support material. The third part is the characterization of the resulting materials from the second step by electrochemical and physicochemical techniques and their use in MFC devices.

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.
