Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrode materials play a decisive role in almost all electrochemical energy storage devices, determining their overall performance. Advancements in transition metal compounds, carbonaceous materials, and organic polymer materials are revolutionizing the field of electrochemical devices, which include rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. These devices are essential for a wide range of applications, from portable electronics to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. Despite extensive research efforts, many of those electrode materials still cannot meet the requirements of practical applications. This Special Issue aims to cover material structural design, surface modification, multi-component hybridization as well as new emerging electrode materials that drive present and future research. Review articles by experts in the field are also strongly encouraged. Researchers are invited to submit their original research and review/perspective articles for publication in this Special Issue. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Transition metal compounds for supercapacitors and batteries;
- Carbonaceous materials for supercapacitors and batteries;
- Organic polymer materials for supercapacitors;
- MOF and MOF-derived materials for supercapacitors;
- Material design for supercapacitors and batteries;
- Electrode surface engineering for supercapacitors and batteries;
- In situ structural analysis of electrode materials for supercapacitors and batteries;
- Theoretical analysis of electrode materials for supercapacitors and 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.
