Chemistry of Materials for Energy and Environmental Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

Today's industry trends are moving towards energy conservation, environmental protection and planetary sustainability in the development of new products. Many efforts have been devoted to developing various renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar and tidal energy sources. Due to the intermittent and uncontrollable characteristics of these energy resources, energy storage devices are required to deal with such problems. Advanced electrode materials are the key components of electrochemical energy systems. However, traditional electrode materials can no longer meet the needs of electrochemical materials in the fields of energy and environmental protection in the future. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research articles and review papers on the chemistry research of advanced materials relevant to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies, and environmental science. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Photovoltaics and photoelectrochemistry;
• Thermoelectricity, piezoelectricity, and triboelectricity;
• Batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors;
• Electrocatalysts;
• Bioprocessing;
• Carbon capture, storage, and utilization;
• Clean water, wastewater treatment, and desalination.

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. 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.
