Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the opening of a new Special Issue in Applied Sciences.
With the rapid growth in energy consumption and finite fossil fuel resources, the necessity for energy conversion and storage devices is increasing. The most attractive systems that act as energy storage devices are rechargeable batteries and electrochemical capacitors, which can supply suitable energy to electronic applications, electric vehicles, and grid-scale energy storage systems for renewable energy sources. Their new applications are rapidly emerging onto the market.
This Special Issue aims to provide and share recent research and development on advanced electrochemical materials for energy conversion and storage devices, which include lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, redox flow batteries, next-generation batteries (lithium-sulfur, lithium-air, all-solid state batteries), electrochemical capacitors, and hybrid capacitors. Research on basic and applied research findings that have led to improved performance and safety and to the understanding of fundamental processes are also welcome.
Papers published in this Special Issue will be of great interest to researchers working in the field of energy conversion and storage systems and will provide a cornerstone for the continuous development of relevant technologies and specialized technological reinforcement. We welcome diverse contributions from material scientists and engineers from universities, research institutes, and industries in these fields. We hope you will contribute your high-quality research, and we look forward to reading your valuable results.

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.
