Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing demand for efficient energy storage solutions to power portable electronics, electric vehicles, and large-scale stationary applications has intensified the need for novel and advanced materials. Despite significant progress in recent years, critical challenges such as enhancing energy and power density, conversion efficiency, cost-effectiveness, cycle life, and safety remain to be addressed.
Advancements in chemical and structural designs have led to substantial improvements in electrode materials, electrolytes, and packaging technologies. Moreover, the development of flexible energy storage devices has gained momentum, driven by the proliferation of wearable electronics. To further these advancements, both theoretical and experimental studies are crucial for understanding the fundamental physicochemical processes, including electronic and ionic transport, electrolyte stability, electrochemical reactions, material phase transitions, and the management of mechanical and thermal stresses.
This Special Issue will highlight the latest research on structural design and controllable synthesis of novel materials for energy storage, encompassing a wide array of topics: design and synthesis of high-performance electrode materials, innovative methods for controlling material structures at the nanoscale, development of flexible and wearable energy storage devices, integration of novel materials in supercapacitors, primary batteries, and rechargeable batteries, advances in understanding electrochemical and physicochemical processes in energy storage systems, techniques for improving the stability, efficiency, and safety of energy storage devices, and comparative studies on different synthesis methods and their impact on material performance.

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.
