Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that Molecules has launched the second edition of the Special Issue “Advances in Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices”.
There is a growing interest in electrochemical energy storage devices to empower portable electronics, electric vehicles and to fulfil the need for the large-scale storage of stationary applications. Despite the significant research efforts of recent years, there remain key challenges to be overcome in the near future. These include improvements to storage energy density and power density, conversion efficiency, cost, cycle life, battery weight and volume, and battery safety.
Chemical and conceptual developments are progressing, with electrolytes, packaging materials, and electrode materials and structures also advancing. There has been a simultaneous focus on the development of flexible energy storage devices, motivated by the rise of wearable electronics. Furthermore, theoretical and experimental studies are seeking to understand the fundamentals of physicochemical processes, including electronic and ionic transport in electrodes, electrolyte phases and stability, electrochemical reactions, material phase changes, and mechanical and thermal stresses.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advancements in electrochemical energy storage technology, encompassing supercapacitors, primary batteries and rechargeable batteries. Contributions of both original articles and comprehensive reviews will cover the latest developments in device architecture, electrode design and materials, thermal and mechanical stress management, large-scale devices, and energy device manufacturing processes.

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.
