Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of wearable electronics, flexible displays, and portable energy systems has driven the demand for advanced energy storage solutions. Flexible electrodes, with their unique mechanical properties and high electrochemical performance, are pivotal in enabling next-generation devices such as foldable batteries, stretchable supercapacitors, photovoltaics cells, and self-powered systems. This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research and innovations in design, fabrication, and deployment of flexible electrodes for energy storage applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel materials (e.g., 2D nanomaterials, conductive polymers, and hybrid composites) for flexible electrodes.
- Advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g., 3D printing, roll-to-roll processing, and laser scribing).
- Mechanically robust architectures and interface engineering.
- Performance optimization in energy density, cycling stability, and flexibility.
- Integration into devices: lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, photovoltaics cells, and hybrid systems.
- Scalability, sustainability, and cost-effective production strategies.
We look forward to your submissions.

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.
