Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the success of the first two editions, we are pleased to inform you that Molecules has launched a third edition of the Special Issue “Advanced Electrode Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion”.

Due to the threat posed by challenges such as energy shortages and environmental pollution, we must optimize conventional energy mixes that primarily rely on fossil fuels by utilizing clean energy. In this regard, it is important to develop efficient, sustainable, electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies (e.g., supercapacitor, battery, and electrocatalysis) in order to convert and store fluctuant clean energy. Electrode materials are at the center of these systems and are closely related to the total electrochemical performance, which has improved significantly in recent years; in addition, morphological and structural precision regulations have been developed to adapt to diverse and complex energy storage and transformation processes. However, more advanced electrode materials are needed to achieve a sustainable future. In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original scientific articles that present innovative research and recent advances in advanced electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. We also welcome the submission of comprehensive review articles. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
