Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of next-generation electrochemical energy storage (EES) is a necessity in order to supply sustainable energy that can maintain societal resilience. As a sustainable and clean technology, EES has been among the most valuable options for meeting increasing energy requirements and carbon neutralization. In recent years, the increasing demand for high-capacity and safe EES has attracted great attention toward aqueous rechargeable batteries boasting a low cost, environmental benignity, or both. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop new materials and technologies for aqueous batteries with higher energy densities.
In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the most recent advances in battery chemistry for aqueous rechargeable batteries by hosting a mix of original research articles and reviews. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not restricted to) the following:
- Electrochemical reactions in aqueous rechargeable batteries;
- Electrocatalytic reactions in aqueous rechargeable batteries;
- Materials or electrolyte chemistry for advanced aqueous rechargeable batteries.

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. 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.
