Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy storage is a fundamental aspect of the future sustainability of the energy landscape. The enormous unexploited underwater and underground space should be concerned to facilitate a large-scale energy storage. In recent years, many studies have been conducted in this field, including, but not limited to, underground compressed air energy storage, underground hydrogen storage, underground pumped hydro storage, underground gravity energy storage, underground compressed CO2 storage, thermal energy storage, underwater compressed gas energy storage, buoyancy energy storage, and hydro-pneumatic energy storage.
This Special Issue on the “Techniques and Applications of Underwater and Underground Energy Storage Systems” aims to publish original research papers and review articles on various aspects of this field, including, but not limited to, novel concepts, systems, and components, energy efficiency, techno-economic analysis, system integration and applications, policy and the market, management and control, theoretical and experimental studies, case studies, lessons learned, and fundamental research surrounding the topic of energy storage. Submissions from experts in academia and industry are both strongly encouraged.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
