Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the energy storage field has witnessed remarkable progress, with graphene-based materials emerging as key players. Their unique properties, such as their high electrical conductivity, large specific surface area, and excellent mechanical strength, endow them with considerable potential in applications like batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. For example, in supercapacitors, graphene-based electrodes can significantly enhance charge-storage capacity due to their fast ion-transfer kinetics.
In light of these advancements, we are pleased to invite contributions for this Special Issue titled “Energy Storage Redefined: The Latest Development of Graphene—Based Materials”. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that showcase the latest breakthroughs in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of graphene-based materials in energy storage. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, novel fabrication methods, composite design, and performance improvements gained by these means in various energy storage devices.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Dr. Jing Zhao
Guest Editor
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. Materials 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.
