Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To mitigate worsening climate change and its catastrophic consequences on human society and realize the sustainable development of modern economy, the decarbonization of the current industries is required. The development of electrochemical devices that are capable of storing and converting different energies from one to another is a promising approach to solve the crises we are now facing. Electrochemical devices, such as batteries, supercapacitors, etc., promise the storage of seasonal energies, including solar, hydro, geothermal and wind energies, which represent the clean generation of energies. Furthermore, powered by clean electricity, the electrification of the current industries would fulfill the decarbonization targets and thus close the carbon cycles. The development of advanced energy materials and corresponding devices hold promise for the closure of the carbon cycle.
We are pleased to invite you to share your intelligence on this important topic in the prestigious journal, Coatings, an open-access journal published by MDPI. Papers, including articles and reviews, concerning the topic are welcome.
This Special Issue aims to offer the readers recent progress and future perspectives on advanced energy materials and corresponding devices.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Electrocatalytic conversion of small molecules into value-added chemicals;
- Electrochemical energy storage devices;
- Batteries, including alkaline metal ion batteries and other edging battery systems;
- Solar energy conversion;
- Clean energy generation and corresponding devices;
- Flexible electronics;
- Smart textiles.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Coatings 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 2600 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.
