Cutting-Edge Characterizations for Expanding Energy Material Chemistries

Dear Colleagues,

Developing new energy storage and conversion material chemistries to replace the use of fossil fuels has been a pressing topic over the last few decades as a solution for the sustainable future of human society. The fields of batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and solar cells have grown tremendously, regarding novel material synthesis, new chemistries, and new system designs, towards realizing commercialization.

Meanwhile, the further advancement of energy material chemistry research requires a vast range of advanced characterization methods and instrumental techniques to continuously explore novel, unique material properties at atomic and molecular levels. Such an understanding at the microscopic scale will facilitate the discovery of new material chemistry and benefit the development of related fields at large. For this Special Issue, we would like to kindly invite you to submit your work on all aspects of cutting-edge characterizations for exploring new energy material chemistries in the aforementioned fields. Review, perspective, and original research articles that provide new insights into material chemistry at the atomic/molecular level are welcome.

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.
