Advances in Supercapacitor Technology and Applications Ⅱ

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue "Advances in Supercapacitor Technology and Applications II " is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue " Advances in Supercapacitor Technology and Applications".

Energy storage is a key topic for research, industry and business, gaining more and more interest. Supercapacitors (also known as ultracapacitors, electrochemical capacitors or double-layer capacitors) feature exceptional capacitance values, creating new scenarios and opportunities in both research and industrial applications, also because the related market is relatively recent. Developments in supercapacitor technology and supporting electronics, combined with reductions in costs, may revolutionize everything from large power systems to consumer electronics. We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue of Energies to collect the latest developments and applications in this field, but also to compare supercapacitors with other energy storage solutions.

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

• Supercapacitor technologies, processes and materials;
• Special devices for unconventional applications or harsh environments;
• Hybrid and lithium-ion capacitors;
• Experimental techniques for testing, characterization, monitoring and diagnosis of supercapacitors;
• Approaches and tools for supercapacitor modeling and simulation;
• Sizing and optimization algorithms;
• Capacitor chargers and management systems;
• Pulsed power supplies and fast controls;
• Power electronics and converters for supercapacitors interfacing;
• Systems and applications exploiting supercapacitors, such as energy storage, uninterruptible power supplies, smart grids, advanced transportation, renewable sources and clean energies;
• Supercapacitor integration and combinations with other energy storage solutions;
• Electrical vehicles, machines, starters and drives supported by supercapacitors;
• Power quality, load management, peak shaving and back-up issues;
• Energy harvesting and recovery, including regenerative braking;
• Supercapacitors for sensor networks and distributed systems;
• Reliability and safety of supercapacitors and related systems;
• Technical-economical evaluations and market analyses.

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.
