Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The best alternative to replace fossil fuels soon is regarded as environmentally friendly and sustainable renewable energies. The outstanding capacities of various renewable energy sources necessitates an excellent energy storage device. Amongst all, supercapacitors possess rapid charging ability, long cyclic stability and high-power density and are environmentally benign; however, the low energy density has restricted their advancement for commercialization. The development of novel materials and innovative synthesis approaches can open up innumerable pathways for expanding possibilities in energy storage (supercapacitor and battery) applications. Low-dimensional (0D, 1D, 2D) materials are regarded as one of the attractive electrode materials for storage devices because of their layered structure, high conductivity, flexibility, outstanding mechanical features and great electrochemical nature.
This Special Issue provides a high-quality forum for interdisciplinary researchers to explore the promising developments in low-dimensional materials-based storage systems. The submitted papers should center around advanced materials, structural modifications in low-dimensional materials like doping, defect, vacancy generation as well as hybrids/composite/heterostructure formation and with a special focus on their charge storage mechanism of optimized structures in energy backup devices.

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).
