Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global community will soon be witnessing a significant scarcity of energy as conventional energy resources are being depleted day by day. Therefore, alternative renewable energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy, ocean energy, etc. are attracting an enormous amount of attention. Unfortunately, almost all renewable energy resources are intermittent in nature, and it is difficult to generate energy continuously. As such, there is a need to store the energy that is produced during the presence of energy sources and utilize it in the absence of energy sources. Supercapacitors are emerging as prominent energy storage devices owing to their unique properties, such as sharp charge/discharge rates and longer lifetimes. However, for commercial usage, the energy density of supercapacitors should be enhanced. Therefore, the current Special Issue focuses on the development of novel electrodes and electrolytes for the enhancement of the energy density of the device. Potential topics of the issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Development of supercapacitors with enhanced storage properties;
- Fabrication of supercapacitors using novel electrode materials;
- Preparation of solid-state electrolytes;
- Fabrication of flexible energy storage devices;
- Solid-state supercapacitors;
- Cost-effective methods and materials;
- New methods to evaluate energy storage devices;
- Zinc-ion, magnesium-ion, and sodium-ion based supercapacitors;
- Ionic liquid electrolyte-based supercapacitors.

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.
