Battery Storage Technology for a Sustainable Future: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue entitled “Battery Storage Technology for a Sustainable Future: Latest Advances and Prospects”.

This Special issue aims to focus on the development of sustainable energy materials which directly contribute to clean energy storage batteries. Among different energy technologies, storage batteries have become the backbone of energy storage for various electronic devices and hybrid electric vehicles, with numerous battery materials having been developed and being available in the market. Li-ion batteries notably conquered the electronic market a long time ago, but the current scarcity of Li is forcing the scientific world to rethink our dependence on Li-ion battery technologies in future developments in energy storage technologies.  Therefore, the development of low-cost and sustainable materials for the sustainable development of Na-ion, K-ion, and Li-S type battery technologies are the need of the hour, along with Li-ion battery technologies.

We welcome your contributions to this Special Issue in the form of research and review articles that address/relate any of the above topics and subtopics.

If the required number of papers (≥10) is published in the planned Special issue, the editor are planning to release an edited book containing the published papers.

We look forward to your active participation and your contributions in this endeavor.

Dr. Robert Ilango Pushparaj
Dr. Abhilash Karuthedath Parameswaran

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. Clean Technologies 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 1800 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.
