Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stable and efficient long-term energy storage techniques are important for the renewable energy utilization. The flow battery among the long-term energy storage techniques with the most potential and had received more and more attention over the past decades. More fundamental principles and optimizing strategies are needed to promote the battery performance and stability of the redox flow battery. As such, there is a need for a greater number of multidisciplinary studies in a variety of fields, including functional materials, flow field design, integration strategy and electrode modification, etc. These fundamental principles and optimizing strategies can contribute to the stability and optimization of flow batteries.
This Special Issue invites authors to contribute reviews and research papers which focus on flow field design for redox flow batteries, electrode material modification, electrolyte material modification, membrane material design and stability and the optimization of flow battery performance.
In this Special Issue, both research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Electrode materials and structure design for redox flow batteries;
- Flow fields design for redox flow batteries;
- Membrane materials in redox flow batteries;
- Transport phenomenon and dynamics in redox flow batteries;
- Modelling, optimization, and numerical simulation;
- Electrode and membrane modification;
- Optimization of the redox flow batteries;
- Integration of the redox flow batteries.
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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
