Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Transition Metal Complex for Electrochemical Energy Storage” is focused on the synthesis and structure design of transition metal compounds (involving chalcogenides, carbide, nitride, etc.) and their complexes as well as their application in the electrochemical energy storage field, including metal–ion batteries, supercapacitors, Li-S batteries, metal–air batteries and so on. Transition metal complexes have been broadly used as electrode materials and have great potential for development owing to their unique d-band structure and heterointerface. This Special Issue is designed to provide a platform for disseminating knowledge in this field and further promote the development of transition metal complexes in the electrochemical energy storage field.

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. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

The design of a reasonable heterostructure electrode to achieve enhanced areal performance for supercapacitors remains a great challenge. Here, we constructed hierarchical porous NiCoP/NiO nanocomposites anchored on Ni foam with tunable electronic and structural properties, as well as robust interfacial interaction. In NiCoP/NiO, the interconnected NiO nanosheets serve as a carrier with enriched anchoring sites to confine the NiCoP and improve its stability. Meanwhile, the ultrathin NiCoP nanosheets with bimetallic centers are connected with porous NiO nanosheets to form a reliable heterojunction, enhancing the electrochemical reaction kinetics. Taking advantage of the synergistic contribution of bimetallic centers, phosphides and unique structure, the NiCoP/NiO delivers a high areal specific capacitance (1860 mF cm−2 at 5 mA cm−2), good rate performance of 78.5% at six times the increased current density, and remarkable durability (11.0% decrease after 10,000 cycles). Furthermore, the assembled hybrid supercapacitor NiCoP/NiO//porous-activated carbon (PAC) delivers a high areal energy density of 173.7 μWh cm−2 (116.4 μWh cm−2) at 1.6 mW cm−2 (32 mW cm−2). The results indicate that the design of the heterostructure interface with strong chemical interface and tunable electronic structure is an effective and promising approach to boost the electrochemical performance for advanced supercapacitors.
