Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable energy is the most critical factor for us, humans, to exist on this planet and for this planet to support us. Solar, wind, and other green energy technologies are developing fast. However, they are not available 24/7, or reliable in the long term without safe, efficient, and eco-friendly energy storage that is the key to sustainable energy.
The great challenge of environmental sustainability depends on our recognition that sustainable energy requires the development of a critically important next-generation energy storage technology.
Conventional energy storage does not meet the requirements relevant to safety, efficiency, and cost. Thus, fundamental changes are necessary that can be achieved by developing new materials, using economically feasible manufacturing to serve a broad range of applications, including electric vehicles and electric power grids operating on eco-friendly solar and wind energy.
This Special Issue addresses the most recent scientific studies emphasizing successful steps in minimizing climate change by introducing new energy storage and generation technologies.

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.
