Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical supercapacitors have emerged as one of the most promising energy storage technologies due to their high power density, rapid charge–discharge capability, and excellent long-term cycling stability. These features make them ideal for a wide range of modern applications, including wearable electronics, portable energy systems, electric vehicles, and large-scale grid stabilization. Recent progress in material engineering has further elevated their performance, with significant advancements in transition-metal oxides, sulfides, phosphates, MXenes, conductive polymers, and carbon-based nanostructures. These developments have enhanced charge storage mechanisms, improved energy density, and strengthened structural and electrochemical stability. In parallel, innovations in electrode design, electrolyte optimization, and hybrid device configurations are enabling multifunctional systems that integrate energy storage with additional features such as electrochromism and sensing. This Special Issue focuses on the latest breakthroughs in the synthesis, characterization, and practical implementation of electrochemical supercapacitors. We welcome contributions that explore fundamental aspects, including charge storage behavior, ion transport dynamics, interfacial phenomena, and theoretical modeling. Applied studies involving flexible and wearable devices, asymmetric configurations, and next-generation hybrid systems are also encouraged. By presenting high-quality research and insightful reviews, this Special Issue aims to advance the scientific understanding and technological development of efficient, sustainable, and intelligent energy storage 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 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. 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.
