Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research papers addressing the current and future advances in the development, characterization and application of supercapacitors.
Over the past two decades, the market for electronic and electric mobile vehicles and portable electronic devices has constantly developed and the demand for cost-effective and highly efficient energy storage devices has stimulated research into high-density electrochemical energy storage technologies that can deliver large amounts of power for long periods of time.
Supercapacitors are materials that exhibit high power densities but low energy densities; thus, to further improve the energy densities of supercapacitors, it is important to design and synthesize new electrode materials. Also, in ideal energy storage systems, long-term stability and energy/power characteristics are crucial.
In particular, topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Methodologies for improving the energy density of supercapacitors, such as doping the active electrode with pseudocapacitive materials; transition metal oxides/rare earths or doping with electronically conducting polymers; the manufacture of three-dimensional (3-D) structures; the use of active carbon electrodes with a large surface; and the modification of the functional groups on the surfaces of electrodes, etc.
- Obtaining and characterizing supercapacitors and applying their special properties by integrating them into wearable or implantable biomedical devices, rechargeable sensors, military applications, automobiles, emerging technologies, etc.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
