Dear Colleagues,

Micro energy storage devices that possess the advantages of small size, high integration, and multifunction have been demonstrated as an excellent prospect for applications in integrated wearable electronics. Flexible microsupercapacitors (MSCs) with controlled size, deformable structure, superior safety, and comfortable attachment to the human body are especially considered an optimal choice for powering with electronic skin, nanorobot, embeddable armarium, sensors, detectors, etc.

In recent years, state-of-the-art MSC devices have been designed to connect with various types of wearable devices, acting as a bridge between energy harvesters (nanogenerators, wireless coil, or thermal charged MSC) and energy consumables (MSC-photodetecting units, self-powered sensing system, smart micro devices, wearable all-in-one systems). Hence, novel MSC devices, smart MSC-powered integrated systems, new strategies toward high-performance electrodes and gel electrolytes for fabricating MSC devices, as well as the challenges that remain in MSC devices need to be summarized, thus helping to identify the future development directions of MSC devices. We invite exceptional scientists and researchers to submit their remarkable results on “Progress and Perspectives in Microsupercapacitors”.

This Special issue focuses on recent advances in flexible MSCs devices. Additionally, comprehensive review articles are invited to summarize the achievements of each field and provide a deeper understanding to the scientific communities.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
