Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is widely accepted that energy storage technologies will play a major role in future energy systems. The focus of many works in this field is mainly on energy density. However, if a huge share of the energy is dissipated during the storage process, the storage fails its task as a support to a future, renewable energy system.
The Special Issue on “Efficiency in Energy Storage” will focus on works aiming at loss mechanisms and approaches to increase efficiency of energy storage technologies. Both theoretical and experimental studies on identification and prioritization are welcome, as they are an essential basis for the development of more efficient processes. Furthermore, works on optimization and implementation of new storage technologies with enhanced efficiency will be included.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to give an overview and a closer examination of thermodynamics, exergy analytics, and energetic optimization of efficient energy storage technologies.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 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.
