Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Recent Advances in Energy Storage Devices and Systems”, aims to showcase the latest breakthroughs that address the growing demand for efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy storage technologies. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives covering advances in lithium-ion, sodium-ion, multivalent-ion, solid-state, lithium–sulfur, and metal–air batteries, as well as supercapacitors, hybrid capacitors, redox flow batteries, and radioisotope batteries. Areas of interest include innovations in high-entropy materials, cathode/anode materials, solid and polymer electrolytes, composite electrolytes, and nanostructured materials. We encourage studies on interface engineering, in situ/operando characterization, computational modeling, and machine learning for materials discovery. Submissions focused on high energy density, high power density, fast charging, extended cycle life, safety, and thermal stability are encouraged, along with studies exploring applications in electric vehicles, electrification of heavy-duty vehicles such as those in aviation and shipping, grid-scale storage, wearable electronics, and renewable energy integration. By bridging fundamental science and practical engineering, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for advancement in next-generation energy storage devices and systems.

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 2100 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.
