Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest scientific advances, unresolved challenges, and promising future directions of advanced electrode materials, which are the core components driving the development of high-performance hybrid supercapacitors—an emerging energy storage device that integrates the high power density of traditional supercapacitors with the high energy density of batteries. It comprehensively covers the rational design, controllable synthesis, precise modification, and systematic performance optimization of various high-performance electrode materials tailored for hybrid supercapacitors (e.g., MXenes, MOFs, nanostructured transition metal oxides/sulfides/phosphides, carbon nanomaterials, and composite electrode materials). Additionally, it includes cutting-edge research on the integration of these advanced electrode materials into hybrid supercapacitors, focusing on performance enhancement (e.g., energy density, power density, and cycle stability) and practical industrial application feasibility. The primary aim of this issue is to bridge the critical gap between fundamental electrode material innovation and practical industrial application of hybrid supercapacitors, further promoting the development of efficient, stable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly hybrid supercapacitor systems to support the sustainable development of next-generation energy storage technologies.

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. 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.
