Nanostructured Graphene-Based Composites for Advanced Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The development of efficient electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems is critical to the world's transition to sustainable energy and to meeting the demand of the increasing electrification of societies. The design of next-generation devices, such as sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid systems, has become a major focus of material science research as conventional energy storage technologies approach their theoretical limits. Nowadays, the efforts are focused on designing materials with a high energy density without compromising cycle life or power delivery.

Because of their remarkable mechanical robustness, high surface area, and electrical conductivity, graphene and its derivatives have become revolutionary scaffolds in the field of energy storage. By combining graphene with transition metal compounds, polymers, or other nanostructures, we can generate synergistic effects in composites and achieve excellent electrochemical performance. Furthermore, the shift toward aqueous batteries and environmentally friendly electrolytes represents a critical step in aligning EES technology with the principles of the circular economy.

I extend an invitation to colleagues worldwide to submit original research and review articles that center on the design, synthesis, and application of graphene-based composites, which tackle novel architectures and underlying charge storage mechanisms in advanced 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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules 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 2700 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.
